Interesting stuff, though our club decided to go with a 4 - 1 - 3. After one tournament and a few scrimmages it's actually pretty solid. And should make for an easy transition to 11v11.
Anyone else seen good or bad with their clubs new formations for 7v7 or 9v9??
For 7v7 we as a club decided on a 2 - 3 - 1

Doesn't 4-1-3 make for bypassing the midfield and playing straight to the front 3?

As long as the coach lets the personnel dictate the shape vs the shape dictate the personnel. I think in a 4 back system, the outside backs are expected to get up and down the field and play as outside midfielders. On some of these narrow pitches, 4 in the back, ie or 4 flat across is overkill.
Prefer a 3-4-1 with: 3 in the back with a true center back. 4 in the midfield with an attacking center mid and a defensive/holding center mid 1 striker to stretch the field. Your outside mids push up and and defend when necessary, and the outside backs can also push forward when their is space on their side and the center and week side back can shift a bit.

As long s the mid 4 are not flat, your example is really a 3-1-2-1-1. the 2 really need to work hard in this formation, working box to box, so would need to be subbed a lot during the game. To be honest I like this formation, teaches teamwork with the need to drop in and support, is a set up that naturally gravitates to an 11 v 11 scenario and allows the players to get experience of different positions if coach works it well.
