Why play small-sided games?
All ages can play small-sided games, but it has a greater developmental impact on younger soccer players. This has to do with the stages of development that all children go through. As children progress through these stages they mature physically, emotionally and mentally. The reasoning behind small-sided games for children is to provide them a stair step approach to learning and playing the adult game of soccer. The small-sided game environment allows them to gradually learn the rules of play, game strategies, tactical concepts, teamwork and fair play as well as quality ball skills through increased time with the ball.
