This
initiative has been formed to create a structured and educational
transition from seven aside to eleven aside football. There are Leagues
running for 13’s, 14’s, 15’s and 17’s age groups. There are currently
around 550 youngsters actively involved in the structured weekly Leagues
for 13’s, 14’s, 15’s and 17’s age levels.
The 1st
year League starts at 13’s where there are no results recorded in the
first half of the season and all coaches are given an in-service by SFA
staff on how to shape their eleven aside team. There is a retreat line
introduced where play is encouraged to be built from the back four
through midfield to strikers. There is a code of conduct the all
players, coaches, officials and parents must adhere to. First
competition is a group stages tournament where final takes place at
Festival of Football at Netherdale June 10.

Developmental
Four aside Leagues (8’s & 9’s)
Developmental Fours will be introduced at 8’s and 9’s age groups
for season 2007/2008 as opposed to current seven aside format that is
presently being deployed at 9’s.
The theory behind this development is that with the playing area being
reduced, and also with reduction in players, there will be more touches
of the ball for players within the game. No
recording of results takes place and emphasis is on player development.
Developmental Seven aside Leagues (10’s,11’s & 12’s)
This
initiative has been formed to create a structured and educational
transition from four aside to seven aside football. There are Leagues
running for 10’s, 11’s, and 12’s age groups.
 There
are currently around 500 youngsters actively involved in the structured
weekly Leagues for these age levels. There is
a code of conduct that all players, coaches, officials and parents must
adhere to.
No
recording of results takes place and emphasis is on player development.
The
season starts in September for both Leagues and there is a midseason
break In December, January and February. Second half of season
recommences in March/April and season concludes with the Borders
Football Festival at Netherdale on June 10.
