How to use it
- Set the number of players with the stepper or by typing.
- Read down the rows: how many games, the split, players per ball, and goals needed.
- The "Start here" row is the most games that keeps every game between 3v3 and 4v4.
Where it comes from
The "start small" suggestion comes from the article's reading of the small-sided games research. The sums are just arithmetic.
The thinking, sources and caveats are in Small-Sided Games for Young Players: Who Gains Most From 3v3 and 4v4.
