Canuck Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 For the upcoming season I have to choose between a regular league and a 7 a side league. Does anyone here play 7 a side football? Has anyone recently switched? Better or worse? Any input would be welcome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 7 a side is much more action Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, low level 11-a-side tends to involve little skill and a lot of paniced hoofing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMag Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 7 a side is miles better. I even prefer 6 a side indoor myself. More time on the ball, more movement, and more goals. Its also loads more exercise which is a plus or negative depending on who you are - if you are not in good shape and everyone else is you might be looking at a coronary with the "small sided games."

Canuck Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Cheers for the replies. Our 11-a-side team is not a hoof-it-and-hope type of team but it has been deteriorating. I think I'll go with the 7-a-side this summer. I play indoor which is 6-a-side but the game is very different because of the walls. Keeps the fitness level up but I find the skill level drops because whenever someone is under pressure they ping it off the wall to noone in particular.

Wasn't allowed over the half way line most of the time when I was playing at right back because the centre backs were too slow to keep up with any counter attack! I play a lot of 5/6/7 a side now and its much better. Allows you to play well and apapt your game if needed (like if you are having a shocker up front its easier to drop deeper and have more luck defending etc..)
