Small Sided Football Details for 2010
Last updated: Wednesday December 9, 2009 10:05AM
Football Federation Victoria has released the Optus Small-Sided Football Guidelines for the 2010 season.
Optus Small-Sided Football (SSF) provides an enjoyable participation experience for young people of all abilities with a major focus on skill development through freedom of expression, minimal coaching, and limited emphasis on the scoreboard.
With the full implementation of Optus SSF now complete, Optus SSF now caters for the Under 7, 9 & 11 age groups.
The main changes, noted in the guidelines, are a change in the age groups with the Under 7’s operating in a 4-a-side intra club/club hub format, the Under 9’s playing a 7 vs 7 fixtured league with no points or tables, whilst the Under 11’s will play a 9 vs 9 fixtured league with points and ladders. Please note that results from the Under 11’s competition will have no bearing on the Under 12’s for the following year.
The changes to the structure of Optus Small-Sided Football were developed based on feedback gathered by the FFV throughout the 2009 season.
