1-3-2-3 Formation Handbook (9v9)

The 1-3-2-3 formation is one of the most popular 9v9 formations. It is a perfect setup for an U12 team that is looking to build players who can play possession soccer. This is partly because the formation is great for creating triangles while the team is in possession of the ball, and those triangles make it easier for the players to pass the ball around the opposition. The formation also provides good balance and symmetry for the team that uses it on both ends of the pitch.
