The below information has been put together to support the U11-U18 session where team shape and playing models were discussed.

This information will provide coaches with information for teaching general starting positions, landmarks and visual cues which help with the organization of the team in 7v7, 8v8 up to 11v11.

Regardless of ‘SYSTEM’ there are common references discussed here that can be applied to all structures chosen by the coach. It is important as a coach that you map (draw) these references for yourself and then share in a consistent manner with the players on the team you are coaching.
