It doesn't help the prescriptive rules that are put in place preventing 7s teams playing 11s friendlies in the lead up to the season they transition to 11s, maybe that's just the Central League though. In the 9-a-side trials what size of pitch are they using? Most are using 1/3rd of 3G surfaces and other clubs are just using 7 a side pitches due to lack of facilities. two extra players mades it crowded in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigano Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 9 v 9 on a 7s pitch with 7s goals is just madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the leagues are like that. But showing the ridiculous of pathway rules, just for example, there's the Glasgow Catholic Schools league where kids from P4 or P5 are playing 11s on a Saturday morning for their primary schools. Good thing or bad? They're playing 11s for school on a Saturday and 7s in the Gadyfl at Toryglen on a Sunday, but many P6s and P7s are less motivated for their boys club 7asides by that time.

My team played a tourney in Blackpool a few years ago, it was across half a pitch, with 7s goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holsten Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Only ever played 9 v 9 over half a season on a transition from 7s ,worked out well for us from 18 yard box to 18yard with 9 a side Goals ......Around 2004ish It was never officially allowed by the league but most teams thought it went down well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yfs1 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Has anyone heard if 06s are going to 11s in March guys? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderdomb Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 A lot of teams I know are arranging 11 a side friendlies to transition the players, it’s not looking good for 9v9 (a lot of leagues also not changed rules yet regarding 9v9) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yfs1 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Supposed to go to 11s in August but I've heard that it may be March Surely that's too short notice to change ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigano Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Why would they go to 11s then, change of playing season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yfs1 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Why would they go to 11s then, change of playing season? No idea it's been spoken about over last few weeks I hoped there would've been more notice than that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigano Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I find it hard to believe they could go to competitive 11s without more notice although it would be good to see a change in playing season. Is the change not more for pro youth? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLad Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 This year, in West Lothian, the 2005 age group went to 9v9 in March at a few weeks notice and then went to 11v11 from August the same year. Sound pointless? Absolutely.The 2006 age group went 9v9 this August, giving them a year at it before going 11v11 next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 9s being a Trial. I hope they take actions to make it better before rolling it out Nation Wide. Potential improvements which may work better. Reconised Referee ( even youngsters wanting to learn earn small amount pre game) Larger Pitch size to transition past 7s Rule changes Decision wise they are talking about making it June/July with the games starting in August which is difficult for the teams to djust with the short notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives teams chance to get used to it. The last half year at 7s is always brutal. It's subject to a meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yfs1 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ridiculous if one area moves to 11s before another They'll be miles ahead by the time they possibly meet each other in Scottish cup or other tournaments Our 06s aunt going to 11s till August in Fife but as far as I heard tomorrow is 06s last game at 7s in Edinburgh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
