Mini Soccer

Mini-Soccer was introduced during the 1997/98 season. The aim of Mini-Soccer is to involve all players in the game and reduce the physical strain. This is achieved by reducing the amount of players to seven and by using a smaller sized pitch.

At Writtle we run three teams at the Under 8, 9, & 10 age groups, the games are always entertaining with plenty of involvement for all of the players.

As boys and girls progress through our Youth Development Section and numbers increase our Youth Development Officers and coaches identify suitable and willing parents to become managers and coaches of three under 8 mini soccer teams which are formed from the 30 or so boys and girls we will have by the end of the Under 7 season.

Children then progress through mini soccer at U8, U9 and U10 before we move to from 7 a side mini soccer to the 11 a side game.  Having three mini soccer squads of approximately 10 to 11 children enables us to form two 11 a side squads of approximate 15 to 16 for the 11 a side game.
