Eric, with all due respect I’d suggest 130 yards is too long. Why do you have it setup like that? Many teams make do with 50-55 width so 60-65 isn’t too bad, though I agree that an extra ten yards aids true possession teams.
Re Yankee pitch, I haven’t seen it so maybe in reality it’s less, but if it is indeed 70 yards width that is not by any stretch of the imagination a “tiny pitch”. This goes for any level of the game as, if I remember correctly, Old Trafford, the Allianz Arena and the Camp Nou are all right around or less than 115×75 yards.
Yup, the above poster is correct that the pro clubs pluck the kids out from their clubs in England. For those of us neverquite good enough, it’s not the best system and it sounds (and seems) like the German method is more successful.
