Yes, i'm just saying if teams don't have the pieces or are over matched, building from the back every time will be a challenge. We used to bait teams into thinking they could build from the back, and would just shift over and win the ball almost every time because of relentless pressure.

We used to bait teams into thinking they could build from the back, and would just shift over and win the ball almost every time because of relentless pressure. Our club plays out of the back. Good or bad. First season was ugly at times, and it was somewhat humorous watching teams celebrate their awesome kids scoring goals or their coaches stellar strategy when they scored on us when playing out of the back. We lost a ton of games because of it. It almost reminded me of the advanced soccer state of rec U8. Fast forward to this year. We can play out of the back consistently, all the kids can for the most part. I really appreciate the fact our coaches and club are committed to that approach and don't get upset when it does not work out. Now it works out almost every time.

Did your club and coach make it clear that this was being done, with a purpose? I've seen it done w/o the message, and it caused lots of consternation. Pretty simple to communicate ideas, or even, say... publish a curriculum. But lots of clubs just continue along, selling empty promises. I like the federations's new document. The last one wasn't bad either.

Playing out the back is definitely the way to go, I love that my current club embraced this a few years back so even our new u9 & 10s learned it in rec so they had no problem doing it in the first few in house and tournament games with had this month. It'll definitely be interesting to see how parents react next season when kids aren't allowed to punt until u13/14. Those boot ball parents are gonna freak that lil jimmy can't just boot it in a u10 rec game.

I love it too! Our club promotes this too. It is rough at U10 when other teams just try to pick off every pass, but if you aren't too hung up on winning at that age, it is a great teacher...for everyone!

Per Georgia Soccer : "clubs will use the new age groups starting with the Fall 2016 season. The changes for small-sided games at young ages will be encouraged for Fall 2016, but won't be mandated until Fall 2017."

I like the 7v7 and 9v9, makes more sense with shape etc. However, 7v7 on most current 6v6 fields will be way to tight. Some of the fields are tiny! Most clubs do 4 6v6 fields on a current 11v11 pitch. Looks like that will be the same standard for 7s.

I have heard that due to the new sizes, some goals are not appropiate anymore. They need to allow the clubs time to purchase these, I dont think that these are provided by the counties. This is also going to be a problem for smaller clubs

Brings home the silliness of having small kids on a huge pitch, much like the video posted by SoccerMom, but in even more dramatic, if less cute, fashion.
