Small-sided football hits different in the summer — and with AirPitch, your sessions go next level. Below are 3 tips to get the most out of the hottest format in youth development.

1. Match the Pitch Size to the Skill Focus
Want tight touches and sharp combos? Go compact — think 15x10m. Want movement, scanning, and slightly longer passing? Go with a larger pitch size.

2. Add Competitive Twists
“Two-touch only”, “score after five passes”, “bonus goal for a 1-2” — these kinds of rules crank up the fun and drive real technical outcomes.

3. Rotate to Elevate
3v3 and 4v4 are magic numbers. Keep matches short and intense, rotate fast, and watch energy skyrocket. More touches, more decisions, more development — and way more fun!

AirPitch + SSGs = The Ultimate Summer Combo
Train smarter, play faster, and let the players enjoy the beautiful game. This summer, keep it small-sided and make every touch count.
