6 A SIDE COLCHESTER FOOTBALL RULES

Our rules at  Leisure World Tiptree are very similar to 11 a side football rules - Please see below:

FACEBOOK PAGE & GROUP PAGE

We welcome all new players and teams to join our Facebook page and league group pages, as this is where we disseminate all the important venue & league information:

• Leisure Leagues Colchester & Tiptree Facebook Page

• Leisure Leagues Colchester & Tiptree Group Page

We do offer incentives such as a FREE game for the team who shares the most of our promotional posts to their personal pages, as this helps us to recruit additional teams to our leagues. Should you refer a team to our league we will also credit you a FREE game.

COLCHESTER 6 A SIDE FOOTBALL TEAM NAMES

When you sign your team up to one of our leagues you are free to choose any team name, however it must not be offensive in nature, or include foul language (swear words) of any kind. If your team name breaches this policy you will be advised to change the name prior to officially joining the league.  If you are struggling to come up with a team name, a good place to visit is The Ultimate Guide to 5-a-side Team Names

COLCHESTER 6 A SIDE FOOTBALL KITS

On initial sign up to one of our leagues your team will be offered a 6 a side football kit to purchase at a reduced rate. Our quality 6 a side kits are extremely durable and will withstand harsh weather conditions as well as abuse from players, such as pulling or ripping, and general wear and tear. These are kits that will never let you down, not in appearance or performance. We provide many kit options and sizes with a variety of colour schemes and styles available - Your area Manager will discuss this with you in detail in your welcome telephone call.

WHEN WILL 6 A SIDE FOOTBALL RETURN? 

The Government have announced that grassroots football can return on 29 March 2021. We are waiting to her from the venue to see if we can resume from this date and will inform all our teams as soon as we get this information. Rest assured 6 a side football Colchester will return, you can be sure of that!

The re-opening of our leagues will be the perfect boost to our Colchester & Tiptree community players. Ready to get Colchester fit, ready to let you get your football fix, and ready to keep leading the way. Another month of inactivity is far too long, we know, but don't worry, we are going to help you shed the pounds and improve your mental health with some of the camaraderie that only 6 a side football Colchester can give - just like we did after the 1st lockdown!

6 A SIDE FOOTBALL TACTICS

Not having a structure or enough organisation in a game of 6 a side is going to immediately effect your team's chances of being successful in our leagues. Whilst our best Colchester 6 a side football teams don't apply a formation too rigidly, not having any formation at all is just going to make it harder for your team to settle in the league, instead of being the contenders you should be.

Much of 6 a side football is reliant on the skill of your players, but a good proportion of your success is going to come from experience and good organisation. Our leagues have a mixture of all ages, gender and abilities. 

The 2-2-1 formation is a good starting point to consider for 6 a side. It's exactly half of the more common 4-4-2 formation that you see in 11 a side football, and offers a similar balance. For more information regarding 6 a side tactics please visit 5-a-side.com

6 A SIDE FOOTBALL & COVID-19

Leisure Leagues Colchester & Tiptree have taken the appropriate steps to ensure that our leagues are Covid-19 safe, with a string of new measures including; 

• Asking teams to pay for their games online in advance (No handling of cash)
• Not allowing teams within a metre of the referee.
• No shaking of hands
• No bibs to be worn
• Avoiding car sharing
• Washing hands before and after fixture
