5-A-Side. Anyone play?

LeopoldScotch · 2 Aug 2014 at 21:37

I'm starting a new season of 5-a-side at my local Goals tomorrow and wondered if anyone who has played before or still plays has some tips for our team?

We're a bunch of 30-somethings and looking at the other teams they look like a load of teenagers which is slightly off putting

Thanks for the replies.

We have a couple who are late 20s and fairly fit but a couple of older guys who haven't got the legs anymore tbh. Would it be best to play the fitter players as strikers or defenders?

Its outdoor but with boards.

We actually have a decent keeper who's played 5 a side for a few teams. I'm not sure how vocal he'll be as he seems like a shy lad and he's new to our group of friends.

I can see a general theme of organisation and pass and move though, I'll pass this on to the lads

Well, we played and got destroyed lol.

Ended up losing 15-5 which was embarrassing but we're determined to come back stronger next week. Thank you all for your tips and I hope they'll help us improve as we desperately need to!
