WHY 3V3 IS BETTER FOR YOUR CHILD

The FA recommends 3v3 for U6 and U7s. Heres why its the best way for your child to start their football journey.

5X MORE BALL TOUCHES

Fewer players means more involvement. Your child isnt standing around waiting - theyre constantly in the action, developing their skills faster.

MORE FUN, LESS PRESSURE

Small-sided games keep things simple and enjoyable. No complicated tactics, no shouting from the sidelines - just pure football fun.
