Mini-Soccer, Why!

"The Best Introduction to the World's Greatest Game"

Doncaster & District Junior Sunday Football League provides arranged Association Football matches in line with the FA guidelines for mini-soccer.

Depending on the age group, the number of players and size of pitch can vary from five a-side for the youngest, to seven a-side for the under 10s. The goal size for all age groups is 12ft by 6ft (3.6m by 1.8m).

Small sided has many benefits of which are outlined below:
More touches of the ball to increase participation and enjoyment.

Fewer players on the pitch meaning simpler decisions and better understanding. 

Smaller pitches meaning greater concentration and interest among participants.

More individual success leads to more children playing. In the long term, this leads to sustained participation levels beyond this age group.
