10v10 soccer lineup sheet

About 10v10 soccer

Ten-a-side is less common as an official format, but coaches meet it all the time: at festivals, in leagues that use it as a stepping stone, and on any Saturday when a full-sided team has ten players. The usual approach is to take a familiar eleven-a-side shape and decide which position you can best do without.

Who plays it: used by some leagues and tournaments, and whenever an eleven-a-side team is a player short. The field: Usually a full-sized or nearly full-sized field. Age groups and field sizes vary from league to league, so check your own league's rules.

10v10 formations

There are 4 10v10 formations in the sheet maker. Each has its own printable lineup sheet and a short guide to its strengths and weaknesses:

• 3-4-2: Teams adjusting from nine-a-side that already know how to play with three at the back.
• 3-4-2 Diamond: Sides with more central midfielders than wingers.
• 4-3-2: Teams that concede too many goals in a three-back shape, or that are preparing for the full-sided game.
• 3-3-3: Developing teams learning positional play and passing in triangles.
