Pitch arrangements for team training and match days

Team Training Areas on 3G pitches

Please see below areas each format will be allocated to train on the 3G pitches

U7s & U8s - 3v3 area (15yds x 10yds) for squads based on 6 players

U9s & U10s - 5v5 area (20 yards x 30 yards) for squads based on 10 players

U11 and U12s will get a 6v6 area (40 yards x 30 yards) for squads based on 12 players

U13s to U16s will get a full 7v7 area (40 yards x 60 yards) based on squads of 14 players


The pitches will be split using the Samba goals when sharing the 11v11 open pitches for training and cones if sharing the 5v5 cage pitches.


Additional 3G pitch bookings outside of  your training allocations are not included in your subs however you can arrange training at our "Home Ground" Prissick Base field as many times as you want for no extra charge to the team


If you want an additional training slot on astro you can book another pitch at a discounted rate of £80 a month but this needs to be year round to get discount.


Match Days 

We aim to allocate all teams a slot on the 3G Astro pitches through the winter playing season however their will be times when we have a heavy allocation of home fixtures or too many teams needing to kick off at the same time so we will need to allocate teams a grass pitch at times.


Please see home ground section on parent a to z for list of venues we use for matches 

U7 / U8 will be allocated a 45 min slot on a full pitch (pitches 6 to 9) for the league match and a 10 min slot before on a caged 5 a side pitch for warm up and 40 min slot straight after for a development game (Number in brackets on msv allocation is the cage pitchallocation)


U9 / U10 will be allocated 90 mins on a 7v7 pitch

U11 / U12 will be allocated 75 mins

U13 / U14 will play get 90 mins

U15 / U16 will get 100 mins


Home games can kick off anytime from 9am to 6pm on Sundays. U7 to U12s will likley kick off between 9am to 1pm and U13s to U16s kick off 2pm to 6pm (Especially in winter when most of the grass pitches will be called off so will need to kick off late on 3G)


Kick Off times and pitch allocations for home games will be communicated to managers by the Tuesday night before the game via the MSV Junior Football FB page Please click here to visit MSV Junior Football Facebook page where all the allocations are posted weekly
