6-A-SIDE FOOTBALL
6-A-Side Football in partnership with the Canadian Football League promotes "Half the number of players – Twice the athlete!"
The basics of 6 A Side Football are the same as traditional 12 player football, aside from a few basic rule modifications. Benefits include:
- Faster paced game
- Exciting and Enjoyable
- Teaches all of the football fundamentals of tackling, blocking, passing, catching and kicking
- More 1 on 1 coaching
- High participation – everyone touches the ball
- Players are not regulated into one position
- Promotes a more balanced football player
- Cost effective – less equipment needed
- Appeals to less populated areas
- Attractive to smaller schools with limited enrollment – teams may dress as few as 15 players
- Easy to organize
- Encourages female participation and all girl’s leagues
- Excellent form of physical activity
- Develops life skills – co-operation, self discipline, self image
6-A-Side Football has been played in Saskatchewan for over 50 years with 29 schools currently participating in the program in the province. Schools in a number of American States run 6-A-Side Football
