[quote=Anonymous]I think at U6 the rules were....

3v3 using Pugg goals.  We did not do throw ins.  Both coaches walked the field with the players with two balls in each arm.  If the ball went out of bounds, there was no throw ins or kicks.  A coach just yelled "ball in" rolled a ball to a player (usually the one getting the least amount of touches regardless of which team kicked it out).  Parents would shag balls and get them back to the coaches. We did not teach goal kicks or corners.  We did not have goalies until U8 so noone used their hands in U6 or U7.  We did do kick offs to start the game and after half time and after each goal.  Subs any time you want them when the ball goes out of bounds or plays stops for a foul, a goal, etc.

Each league might be different.  get with the other coach and agree with what you want to do.  With 10 players playing 3v3, we used to have two games on 3v3 going on simultaneously on adjacent fields. Talk with the other coach if you want to make each team up randomly or have the more aggressive players play against the more aggressive players of the other team (like make A and B teams). This was always a point of contention but I felt it worked. I enjoyed watching the usually shy kids playing against the usually shy kids otherwise, the aggressive players just beat them to the ball all the time.
