The FA's latest mandate is to develop 3v3 football as an official match format for younger age groups. 3v3 football is a variation of football where each team has three players on a smaller pitch. This small-sided game can help players develop their skills, confidence, and teamwork. It can also help players improve their decision-making and physical conditioning.
Whilst you could use cones and lines to mark the pitch for 3v3, many clubs are embracing the innovative inflatable pitch method, which see's the ball in play for a whopping 83% of the 10 minutes games. "
With fewer players and the ball rolling for the full ten minutes due to the fence, each outfielder had a whopping 71 touches on average. The result? Loads of opportunities to practise core skills, both attacking and defending". The English FA study March 2022
Here at Total Grassroots, we've been asked numerous times if we can help source "cheap" inflatable pitches.
Whilst we could go directly to a Chinese manufacturer, there are no guarantees over safety, warranty, testing, after sales care, or any guarantees over lead time.
So, we've partnered with AirPitch, who are based in the UK, offer a 2 year warranty, a delivery-day unboxing & how-to guide, round the clock support and patent pending technology.
"But aren't AirPitches super-expensive?"
Not when we've negotiated a whopping 30% discount if bought via Total Grassroots.
