Mostly 4-3-3 from what I've witnessed. Which is really more of a 4-1-4-1 with the wingers running the full length of the field.
On my kid's fall team after the season they switched to 4-1-3-2 to play more long-ball to 2 strikers, which has been much more successful/effective (so long as the mids understand their role). This was a personnel decision compounded by the fact they were having a difficult time scoring with 1 center forward (especially on counters where it was 1v3 or 1v4).
I'll admit, I prefer 2 strikers up front, with one swinging back to play more of a #10 when the ball is deep in the defensive 3rd.

1. 4-3-3 is most common 2. 4-2-3-1 is a popular variation of 4-3-3. Extra holding mid allows for stronger defensive cover of centerbacks and help with play out of the back. 3. 4-4-2 with diamond midfield. Second most common. A lot of girls teams play this formation, 4. 3-5-2 found occasionally on high level teams. Strong midfield (5 midfielders) and 3 Centerbacks. Defense needs to be organized as succeptable to counter attacks, especially wide. Only 2 wide players so they have to be extremely fit.

We have played 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and 3-5-2. We have been most successful against competition in our league with 4-4-2 but have done a lot of the 3-5-2. It is hard for defense to be organized in 3-5-2 and the wing backs get exhausted because they sprint A LOT!!!

What are the most common formations that you have come across in Georgia soccer, specifically in the 11v11 format. Do you see many coaches adapting there formation based on the players they have at their disposal? On individual coaches adapting formations based on players ... I think you see both. I think most coaches will certainly change the formation from season to season, between games, and during games based on personnel. However, I also think some coaches can often have strong convictions on formations (and style of play) and will stick with that regardless of having the ideal players to execute.

Right down the middle? Bold. My kid's spring coach plays 4-3-3 and sticks to it...somewhat unfortunately. Would like to see that team with 2 up front also.

Its interesting how similar an old school 4-4-2 with a stopper/sweeper is to a 3-5-2. the obvious difference is back then there was no such thing as a diamond in the middle and you played more with a flat 4 mid field.
The diamond in the middle in my opinion is a must. all the formations these days requires outside middies to work and get up and down the sideline for sure.

I'd like to see a coach strap on a pair and go with a 2-3-5. That's right, 2 in the back, 5 up front. Go for it!
