U10/U11 2010K

Shape is the way the players are position on the field. The shape of the team should be so that there is both:

• width: covering the field from side to side, left to right and center
• depth: covering the field from defense to attack and center

In 11-player teams that play of full fields, there are usually goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards players.

In the U10/U11 league we have 7 players, so we typically use:

• goalkeeper, 
• 3 defenders
• 3 forwards. 

 The team needs to move as group, all players will cover the midfielder position.

A team with bad shape is like a two legged stool...
