Teams consist of 5 active players with rosters of 5-10 players or more depending on leagues. Games are longer in length and play on a medium sized pitch with goal keepers. 5v5 has larger goals than small sided games and opens up the player space just enough to keep the action fast but allowing more strategy. Formations become part of the game attacking and defending with shape and an ability to get compact when needed. 5v5 Formations and shapes develop well rounded, confident players.
