MINI-FOOTBALL

INTRODUCTIONThe Football Association of Wales (FAW) recognises that children do not perform the same as adultsin an ��-a-side game. Therefore a modified version is required to meet the developmental needs ofyoung players while maintaining all the features and essence of the full game. Mini Football isrecognised by the FAW as the only form of football in Wales for children Under �� years of age.

WHAT IS MINI FOOTBALL?Mini Football is a modified version of the ��-a-side game. It gives children the chance to play realfootball, for a real team, whilst experiencing an enjoyable and fun introduction to football through small-sided games.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF CHILDRENAll available research shows that children have more fun and learn more playing a game within smallerteams. Mini Football is therefore ideal for girls and boys under �� years of age in terms of maximizingtheir enjoyment and technical/skill development.

IF CHILDREN ARE TO ENJOY AND TAKE PART IN FOOTBALL THEY NEED TO:�. Take an active part in the game and have fun without any pressure from parents, coaches or

managers.2. Learn to play within a team.3. Understand and observe the rules of football.4. Develop the skills and techniques to play football.5. Be able to take part whatever their ability.6. Have plenty of contact with the ball.

KEY VALUES OF MINI FOOTBALLMini football is for boys and girls aged 5 to �� of all abilities who are interested in football (all childrenof primary school age). The FAW believes that children should learn how to compete to win fairly,skillfully and within the rules of the game. At this age striving to win is more important than the outcome,winning is not everything, making the effort is.Mini Football:�. Recognises that children do not perform and compete as adults and therefore its rules are

adapted to meet the needs of children.2. Has all the features of real football for children.3. Recognises the value of competitiveness for children and provides an appropriate environment. 4. Sets a standard and a framework of behaviour on and off the pitch.5. Is for boys and girls regardless of their ability.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT�. There is more contact with the ball in Mini Football leading to a better technique. In ��v�� the ratio

of ball to outfield players is �:20, because there are fewer players in Mini Football each player hasmore regular contact with the ball. More contact with the ball helps players practice technique anddevelop technique into a skill through �v� competition.

2. Decision making is easier and occurs more often because of the small numbers involved. As aresult, the players will gain a greater understanding of the game. The basic football situations areeasier to see and simpler to solve.

3. Because the ball is never far away from the player, the chance of developing concentration isgreatly increased. Playing ��-a-side football, many children lose interest in the game because theball goes out of their immediate vicinity and they quickly become bored spectators.

4. Fewer players, more space and simpler decisions will encourage more movement of playerswhatever the situation.

5. More contact leads to more participation and usually, more enjoyment, success is easier toachieve.

MINI FOOTBALL IS THE BASIS OF ALL FOOTBALLSmall-sided games have been played for hundreds of years in the street, the playground, or on thebeach and many professional teams use them as the basis for their coaching. They invariably lead tobasic football situations, such as, �v�, 2v2 and 3v3 so typical of the ��-a-side game. Mini-football,through its dynamic tempo, produces more vigorous exercise than ��-a-side football and so helps toimprove children’s core components of fitness – speed, agility, balance and coordination.


72

ORGANISATION OF MINI FOOTBALLThe general aim of Mini Football is to provide a safe, supervised environment for children to enjoy theirintroduction to the game.1. Playing Surface:�.�. Mini football pitches must be specifically laid out on any suitable open spaces or conventional

grass or Astroturf football pitches which can be converted for Mini-Football. �.2. There must be no debris or dangerous hazards either on the field of play or in the immediate

surrounding area. �.3. Markings must be laid out with the use of conventional lines, marker discs or small cones.2. Playing Equipment: 2.�. Children must wear footwear suitable to the surface being played on. 2.2. All children must wear suitable shin guards. 2.3. All jewellery must be removed. 3. Organisation of games, festivals and fun days: 3.�. The FAW believes that the game of Mini Football provides children with the necessary introduction

to competition. The game itself is a sufficient skill development challenge for children.3.2. As a consequence no league or knockout competition must be organised (or will be sanctioned)involving Mini Football, save for the exemption set out under clause 3.5 below.3.3. Matches can be scheduled in a number of different ways to be determined by the Junior League: 3.3.�. On a ‘Home and Away’ basis as determined by the organising junior league. 3.3.2. On a round robin basis where 3 or 4 teams play at one venue against each other, teams can rotate on and off the pitch having rest breaks when not playing. 3.3.3. On a Festival basis where a number of teams play round robin games at a central venue. Each team plays against each of the other teams, until all of the teams have played against each other, OR have played a suitable number of games in line with Rule 6. 3.4 Clubs affiliated to the FAW or its Area Associations may organise one or two day competitivetournaments with the approval of the relevant association and with the written consent of the players’parents or guardians (refer to FAW Rule 69.3).3.5 League and Knockout competitions may be organised for the 9v9 Mini Football format where childrenfrom Academic Year seven are involved.Coaches/Managers should ensure suitable breaks are provided between games. 4. ‘Behind the Line, behind the Team’ CAMPAIGNThis is mandatory at all Mini Football age groups. As a consequence, at all Mini Football games, ClubsMUST:4.�. Create a ‘Buffer zone’ that runs parallel to pitch, ideally 2 metres from both touchlines, a smaller

buffer zone can be used where space doesn’t allow 2 metres. 4.2. Buffer zone should be marked by cones or additional marked line.4.3. Only players, designated coaches and First Aider allowed within zone. 4.4. All other spectators must watch from behind the buffer zone lines. 4.5. NO spectators are allowed to stand on the goal line or behind the goal.

THE RULES OF MINI FOOTBALLThe rules are simple and as near to real football as possible. A game leader, who is urged to be asflexible as possible with the players, must supervise the game from the touchline.Rules are explained as the game proceeds (for example, hand ball). It may also be necessary todemonstrate in certain instances how to restart the game (e.g. throw in, corner kicks).1. Players Eligible�.�. Mini Football is for boys and girls in Academic Years one to six.�.2. An Area Association can extend in its area the scope and application of the Mini Football

Regulations to cover Academic Year seven (refer to FAW Rules 67 and 69.4). For the format andrules for Academic Year 7 (refer to FAW Rules 67 and 69.4) For the format and rules for AcademicYear 7 refer to Rule �8.

�.3. Mixed football (boys and girls playing together) is permitted in all age ranges.2. Age Groups2.�. Must be a minimum of a one academic year and a maximum of two academic years.2.2. A mini player must participate in the age group relevant to their academic year as defined by these

regulations and the structure of the league they play in.2.3. For the purposes of age groupings, an academic year begins on the �st September and ends on

the 3�st August of the following year. Academic year one is the year in which a player reacheshis/her 6th birthday.

5. The Goal Area5.�. Must be marked by conventional lines or cones on the touchline and a small number of

marker discs on the playing area. 5.2. The goal area extends a set distance from the goal line and is also a specified width. See

table below:

6. Match Duration6.�. A Mini Player must only play a maximum of 60 minutes sanctioned match time in one 24 hour

period. 6.2. For under 7 and under 8 players this must be broken down into a maximum of either �5

minute individual periods of play or games. 7. Substitutes7.�. Any number of substitutes may be used at any time (Rolling substitutes). 7.2. Players may re-enter the game and all substitutes must have a period of play. 7.3. As far as possible there should be equal playing time for each player.8. Kick Off8.�.
