hey coaches coach KW here with another 9v9 formation overview today we got the 1242 kind of an interesting formation it's based a little bit off the 222 and
7b7 a formation I do not love for a number of reasons mainly because it's incredibly narrow and it's easy for your team to get split apart we've added two
wide players here if you play it in this grid these players are going to be stretched and isolated because they have to cover a lot of ground remember 75
yards long fifth and sixth graders they don't have the engines to do that a suggestion you can use to try and mitigate some of that is to use a strong
side weak side approach if the ball is on this side of the field and that's the strong side this player engages these players slide over and the wide player
tucks in when the ball switches this player kicks out and this player kicks in it'll minimize some of that running but you can see that when that happens
it leaves a lot of ground to be covered by these five players which leaves a lot of space on a counter to be exploited or isolated against here while you have
your three in the back also like the 222 this can either get incredibly narrow leaving these players out on an island or they can get incredibly split leaving a huge hole
down the middle or push to one side when chasing the ball in the end this formation requires a lot of tactical discipline by your players to be able to
create some support and maintain those positionings there's other formations out there that might work better for you I have a whole video on different options for you link in the description
otherwise we'll see you real soon thanks bye e
