"Football is a simple game made complicated by people who should know better" - Nick Levett, FA National Development Manager
Junior Soccer League (JSL) is the first in the country to be given the FA's flagship Charter Standard League award for a league offering 4/5 a side football, which is viewed by many experts to be the best format of the game to develop young footballers of the future.
JSL's concept is based on developing junior football predominantly through 4v4 small sided game formats...Please click on any of the links above to view the specific JSL offering for young children with an interest in the game.
"Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players....they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure" - Arsene Wenger

Why 4v4 +Goalkeeper?


4v4 + goalkeeper  is the optimum number for learning in small sided games. It has all of the elements of the full size game (depth, width and height) without any confusing duplication.

In a football match children have the option to pass the ball forwards, square or backwards. 4v4 + goalkeeper means that everyone is involved. Not only do the children get more touches of the ball, they are more mentally involved. The action is faster and there are no hiding places. This facilitates quicker learning and development of positional awareness.

With the 4v4 + goalkeeper format, players learn the "diamond" shape, which is the basic shape that allows players to find options in every direction.
