3v3 soccer is transforming youth development worldwide, and now it's available in Saskatchewan!

This fast-paced format uses just three players per team on compact fields with innovative AirPitch inflatable boundaries.

No goalkeepers, no offsides, no throw-ins - just pure, continuous soccer action where every player touches the ball constantly.

What makes 3v3 soccer revolutionary?

  • No Hiding: Every player stays engaged throughout the entire game.
  • Constant Action: Ball stays in play 83% of the time vs. 60% in traditional soccer.
  • Skill Development: Players average 102 touches per game vs. 10-15 in 11v11.
  • Quick Games: 8-10 minute games means maximum playing time, minimum waiting.
  • Safe Environment: Inflatable AirPitch boundaries eliminate injuries from collisions.

development benefits

Technical Skills

10x More Ball Touches

In traditional soccer, many players go entire games with minimal ball contact. In 3v3, every player averages 102 touches per game, developing first touch, close control, and technical skills at unprecedented speed.

Decision Making

Faster Soccer Intelligence

With less time and space, players must think quicker, read the game better, and execute under pressure. This creates soccer intelligence that transfers to all levels of play.

Physical Development

Superior Fitness & Agility

Continuous high-intensity play builds cardiovascular fitness, explosive speed, and quick-twitch responses. Players take 2,300 steps per game with constant direction changes.

Complete Player Development

No Specialists, All Players

Without fixed positions or goalkeepers, every player learns attacking, defending, and transitioning. This creates complete soccer players, not position specialists.

Confidence Building

Every Player Matters

With only 3 players per team, every child's contribution is vital. Players report feeling 75% more confident trying new skills in 3v3 compared to traditional formats.

why 3v3?

The benefit to training in smaller spaces is you don’t give players time to think.

“

Playing more smaller side games in practice and on competitive match days may well be the answer to developing more skilful players in all positions of the pitch.

“

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.

Air pitches add variety and excitement to training sessions. They allow for small-sided games and skill-based rotations. The popularity for these among players is evident.
