9v9 Soccer Formations
During the season we will primarily be using a 1-3-1-3-1 or a 1-4-3-1 formations. Players are responsible for learning the position numbers for each formation. Here are the position numbers for each formation.
1-3-1-3-1
Based around the newly revolutionized 4-1-4-1 from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, the 3-1-3-1 provides loads of attacking flair for teams good in possession of the ball.
1-4-3-2
The 4-3-1 is one of the best formations to get team used to playing 11v11 football. The standardized way of playing 11-a-side around the world is with a back four; despite the attempted innovations of managers like Roberto Martinez and Pep Guardiola. 9v9 might just be the best time to introduce the arc of the back-four and get teams thinking about the notion that defense is the best form of attack. Although it can look a bit defensive on paper and requires your team to have the necessary defensive personnel, a fantastic balance can still be achieved.

Training Workouts
Running Drills
Warm up:
Slowly jog for 5-10 minutes to get your muscles warmed up and your cardiovascular system going.
Sprint:
Sprint as fast as you can for about 20 seconds. That simulates a sprint if you need to chase an opponent player or a fast rush towards the goal.
Walk:
Walk easily for about a minute. This is to simulate a break of the game like when for example the ball goes outside and you just need to walk to your position.
Jog:
Jog at an easy pace for 2-3 minutes. With that you simulate changing your position on the field when you’re not actually involved in a battle.
Repeat:
Repeat the last three steps several times until you reach the imaginary half time or 45 minutes. But don’t do it exactly the same over and over again. As in a soccer match the amount of sprinting, walking and jogging can be very different so try to mix things up.
Cool down:
As you should do after any intense workout, also after the soccer run cool down by jogging at an easy pace for 5-10 minutes.
