1. Frequent Attacking and Defending

In a 4v4 game format, players are constantly engaged in both attacking and defending, which provides repetition and builds confidence with quick, decisive actions in and out of possession

.

2. Enhanced Decision-Making Skills

The fast-paced nature of 4v4 keeps players actively involved, sharpening their decision-making abilities through repeated, real-time game situations.

3. Reduced Complexity and Emphasis on Pure Play

With fewer players, 4v4 reduces the complexity of the game, allowing players to focus on their individual skills, enjoy more touches, and experience the joy of play in a way that mirrors street football.

In line, with FV guidelines, games will go ahead under 32 degrees with a break in play every 5 minutes if higher temperatures. Games will go ahead in rain and should we cancel for torrential rain, both teams will be awarded 1 point.
