We need creative players who can play in unique ways more quickly and who can score.

“Small-sided games create the best developmental environment for young players to maximize their technical and tactical abilities. Technically, players better develop because there are more opportunities to touch the ball. Tactically, small-sided games are more suited to the psychological makeup of young children and create more opportunities for learning from their decisions. Small-sided games also force players to develop individual and small group abilities, which are the basis of all successful soccer players.”
-Jerry Yeagley, Retired Men’s Soccer Coach from Indiana University
