Does Strive have any unique rules for soccer? Why play 3vs3, 4vs4 and 7vs7?

Strive Sports utilizes the rules for soccer established by FIFA, but below is a chart which provides details of how each league is structured for each age group.

There are several advantages of having teams with fewer players and fewer players on the field. Less players on the field will allow each player to touch the ball exponentially more times, which will enable each child to get more experience and develop at a much faster rate. The skill level of each child will increase with fewer players, and this also provides coaches with more time with each child. More goals are scored with less players and this raises the level of excitement for the players. There will be no goalkeepers for 4-5 year olds and 1^st-2^nd grade divisions. The more times in each game and practice each child can be more involved will make each child a better player and allow each child to be more involved in all aspects of the game, and most importantly each child has more fun and gets to play more minutes each game.
