Hi everybody. I have started a 6 a side team and our first game is on Sunday. We have very average players and have played a couple of friendlies and lost 4-1 and 3-0. Our first league game is a few days away and I was wondering if any experienced 6 a side teams/players had any useful advice on how to become a hard team to beat.
It would be great if we could get a result in our first game as it would increase the teams morale. So if anybody has any ideas on the bast formation and tactics it would be very appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

This is over 18's. We play on Astro Turf outdoor pitches. We seem to be struggling to find the correct tactics and formation. I would be very grateful for any advice that you could offer.
Thanks
Mike

| If it's 6v6 including a goalie, then your absolute best formation is a 2-1-2. This creates the maximum number of triangles for that number of players.

Thanks Bobby. We have five outfield players and a goalkeeper. I will play with 2 defenders, 1 midfielder and 2 strikers in our next match. We haven't tried that formation, so it just might work. Please pass on anymore advice as it is very welcome.
Thanks
Mike

We tried your formation and it was the best that we have ever played. We were passing the ball really well and scored two great goals. Unfortunately, we lost 4-2, but that was only because we haven't got a goalkeeper at the moment and every shot they had went in.
We will stick with that formation next week and I am confident that we will get a result.
Thanks
Mike

| No problem at all. I'm glad to hear that even though you lost, you see the potential of the players, that they can see the triangles, and continue to learn how to use them.

I am confident that using that formation, we will get our first win this weekend.
I don't suppose you have any idea, how we could get a kit for us to play in. I have looked on the internet, but I can't afford to but a kit for the team at the moment. I am sure that it would increase our team spirit, if we all looked the same.
Thanks
Mike

CONGRATS!
We just use Tee-shirts as my parents are either too poor or too greedy to buy nice kits.
