A MESSAGE FROM THE
EDITOR By Anders Wennesland Founder of BazookaGoal Welcome to the first issue of STYLEOFPLAY by BazookaGoal. The purpose of this magazine is to keep our clients and fans updated on the latest developments in the professional and grassroots football training scene, as well as to present product news and information. 2018 was a crazy year for us, with an ambitious plan to develop a range of new BazookaGoals in less than a year. I am happy to say that we made it and the result you can read about in the following pages. In this edition you will also learn about the history of the 3v3 net-pitch tournaments, the fast-paced and fun football-format that has taken Scandinavia by storm in recent years. BazookaGoal is committed to supporting the development of 3v3 football all over Europe and to do that we simply had to develop a better tool for this that we named Torpedonet. We are proud to be seleced by the ISPO Brand New Awards for a second time. 7 years ago it was with the BazookaGoal. Time really flies!

Interview with 3v3 Norway founder Finn Ove Softing
LET THE KIDS PLAY!
STYLEOFPLAY
| 03
Finn Ove Softing founded 3v3 Norway in 2011 with the idea that the youngest players should be introduced to football with the help of a more fun and effective training-environment than what currently existed. At the time 5v5 was still the smallest official game-format in Norway and it was clear to him that for 6 and 7 year old kids both the size of the pitch and the goals were simply too large. "I wanted to create something that gave them a chance to keep the ball in play all the time and get more touches, more passes, and more goals in every session. It was only logic really. Of course I never dreamed it would grow as big as it has." Since 2012 then he has been travelling all around the country every year helping regional grassroots clubs to set up and organize the popular 3v3 Football Festivals. They have become a highlight of many club calendars and now include players up to 12 years old. In 2018, 3v3 Norway organized more than 30 tournaments together with host clubs all over the country, and on average they had around 600 players per day. This means that it is now Norway's third largest football tournament of any kind in participation numbers, but this is not something that Softing is very interested to talk about. He wants to focus on the experience of the young players and the satisfaction he feels seeing them in action on the tournament day.

"I must have seen more than a hundred thousand goals during these 8 years... and even more smiles!" Softing laughs out loud with his own remark. When we ask if he really keeps track of how many goals that are being scored, he shows us a statistic that proves it was in actually an understatement. It turns out that a 3v3 Norway tournament has on average 1640 goals scored in one day! Using simple math, we can calculate that this amounts to near 50000 goals scored per year and almost 400000 goals scored in total since 2012. A pretty impressive number if you compare with traditional football tournaments. No wonder it is popular. "I think I have never met a player in our tournaments who has not at least scored one," Softing says. "Whether you are a defender who never used to see the other end of the field, or even a keeper, at the 3v3 Norway tournaments you will get that wonderful experience of putting the ball in the back of the net. I believe that this is something that will give those young players excitement and confidence to bring with them. It is the net-pitches that helps create these opportunities. They keep the ball rolling in the feet of the player instead of disappearing out of bounce. They are essential as they makes football fun for everyone.

Softing explain that the most important thing for him is that the 3v3 Norway tournaments are created for the players and not the adults. "All our events are non-competitive, meaning we do not register results or award winners. The players come here to enjoy themselves and not worry about winning or loosing." He tells us that this was something that took a bit of time convincing everyone in the beginning, but mainly it was the adults complaining, not the kids. "Of course all children are naturally competitive, so they will want to win games and score as many goals as possible. This is just like they would if they were playing a neighborhood match with friends. It is exactly this feeling we want to recreate, just in an organised environment. This means that coaches and parents should have a minimum involvement and simply LET THE KIDS PLAY."

The history behind the innovation
TORP EDO NET REVO LUT ION STYLEOFPLAY
| 05
Mobile net-boundary systems were first developed in Denmark in 2008. It replaced the heavy PVC walls that until then had been used to organize Europe's largest 3v3 football tournament: Jyske3bold. For more than ten years, 3v3 net-pitch tournaments have been successfully organised all over Scandinavia and it has lead to big changes in the youth football development. In 2017, the Swedish FA followed the Danish and the Norwegian FA and introduced 3v3 as official match football for U6 and U7 age groups. BazookaGoal has been in the forefront of 3v3 football development since the very beginning and in 2018 the company introduced the first 3v3 UK net-pitch tournament with the national final held at the Liverpool FC Academy. After years of experiencing the heavy work of setting up and transporting these aging boundary systems, it was time to finally improve the design and make something more fitting to the brand. The Torpedonet is a patented retractable net-boundary system that lets you create an endless range of small-sided game environments within a few minutes. The nets also have a rebound effect for ball-mastery exercises and will come with a training app developed by professional football coaches. The modular design makes it possible to start small and build larger over time, so that any club can afford to get started. The system will be rolled out in several countries already in 2019 in connection with the 3v3 Europe tournament project. July 2019
