SJEB FC JUNIORS

We are pleased to offer FREE 4v4 festivals for U7, U8, U9 Boys & Girls as an introduction to our club.


We set up 4v4 fields, play music, and let the kids play. We do 10-15 mins of ball skills half way through the session. Here's the stats regarding 3v3 and 4v4 games. 


4v4 Development Stats

  • Ball Touches: Players receive 400% to 500% more touches than in full-field games.
  • Game Actions: Compared to 8v8, 4v4 features 135% more passes, 260% more scoring attempts, and 280% more dribbling skills.
  • Intensity: 4v4 is more physically demanding, resulting in a 41.56% higher subjective perception of fatigue.
  • Physical Load: 4v4+GK formats induce higher blood lactate levels and greater reductions in sprint ability (5-15m) compared to 8v8+GK.
  • Fatigue Impact: Studies show 4v4 results in a 6.65% decrease in countermovement jump height and a 4-6% increase in agility test times, indicating high neuromuscular fatigue.

Benefits of 4v4 Games

  • Increased Decision-Making: More frequent 1v1 situations.
  • High Repetitions: More chances to dribble, shoot, and pass.
  • Physical Conditioning: High-intensity, short-duration bouts, ideal for anaerobic fitness.
  • Involvement: Every player acts as an attacker and a defender
