Playing Formations and Player’s Roles in various 9 vs 9 Formation PDF

 

Which is the best formation to use?

There is not one formation that is better than the other. Formations should selected based on the talent pool of the players or the next system of play that the team will move in to at 11 vs 11.

Coaches should teach positional play to players opposed to positions. (Positions show players where to stand on the field; however positional play teaches players how to play the game.)

The number system comes from US Soccer and is used to standardize positions for communication purposes.

Check with your club to see if they have a preferred system and style of play.
