Youth Player setup positions

Looking for the best set up for 3rd & 4th graders 7vs7 games. Should I have 3 offensive, 2 mids and 1 d with a goalie?

Hi Jason,

I think it might be best to go with a 2-3-1 formation. Having the majority of your players in midfield will allow them to help out defensively as well as in attack. As the midfielders will be doing most of the work, you can rotate the attacking player - the player who will stay high up the pitch. This way everyone will be doing their fair share of work in the midfield.
