5v5 soccer is small-sided soccer with four field players and a goalkeeper per team. In the US it is mostly played in adult leagues, indoors or outdoors, on walled turf courts: the walls keep the ball in play, so there is no throw-in and hardly a pause, and every player is always involved. Futsal, the five-a-side game recognized by FIFA, is its hard-court relative.
U.S. Soccer has no 5v5 youth format: up to U8, kids play 4v4, from U9 7v7. Smaller formats can still be played, and many clubs and schools use small walled courts for training and pickup games.
There is no single rulebook for 5v5: leagues set their own. These rules are common:
There is no official 5v5 field size in the US; leagues and facilities choose their own. For comparison:
Rebound boards all around, built-in goals and ball-stop netting: the court 5v5 is played on.
100' x 65' with plenty of room for 5v5, 100' x 50' where space is tight, popular on rooftops, 131' x 66' for 6v6 to 7v7, and any other size on request.
40" boards of double-walled, metal-coated sandwich panels with a sound-absorbing foam core, so the ball stays in play; netting 10', 13' or 16' high, a roof net on request.
The Classic with posts set in concrete, the free-standing Advanced on asphalt or concrete, the Indoor sized to your facility, the Portable for events.

Futsal is the five-a-side game recognized by FIFA, played on a hard court with touchlines, a low-bounce ball and 10' x 6.5' goals. 5v5 leagues often play on turf with walls instead. Our courts can be set up for either, with futsal lines and goals if you want them.
