How to Play 6-a-Side Football
By Deepak | February 22, 2010
When most people talk about football, 99% of the time they are conversation about the traditional 11-a-side edition of the mettlesome that originated in England. Throughout the years, as other countries have become aware and equally obsessed with the sport other (minor) versions of the mettlesome have popped up, such as 5-a-side (where you play with only 5 players on each side) and the South American ‘Futsal’.
There’s a newborn edition of the mettlesome that is becoming increasingly popular year on year, and it’s titled 6-a-side football. In this edition of the mettlesome each team has 6 players (5 outfield players and digit goalkeeper) and the mettlesome is played with much shorter goals than the 11-a-side mettlesome (the goals are only around 4 foot tall).
Most of the main rules from football also apply to 6-a-side, such as no handling the ball (except for the goalkeeper), and no foul play being allowed. The way that it differs greatly from 5-a-side is that you CAN now score from inside the Atlantic and you can also kick the ball higher than head height (this is a foul in 5-a-side football).
Playing this mettlesome requires extremely high fitness levels, since the size of the pitch compared to the amount of people playing on it is huge, meaning you’ll be constantly running after the ball. One helpful addition to make this a tad easier is the use of what’s titled ‘rolling subs’. This means that you can have substitute players come on and off at any time throughout the mettlesome (much like Ice Hockey).
