What are the best strategies for 5v5 beach soccer/ football? How do you organize the team on the field?

needtogetaloan4menow: What are the best strategies for 5v5 beach soccer/ football? How do you organize the team on the field?
I will be coaching a very competent, premier level U-11 Girls soccer team in an upcoming beach soccer tournament. Having never seen the game played at a high level, I am looking for specific tips on how to organize the team, and what the best attacking and defending strategies are in beach soccer… What do the pros or better amateur teams do? Are there any websites dedicated to beach soccer where I can get additional related information?

Thank you!

play a formation like this

GK

CB CB

CM

CF

Play the ball through the CM, designating him/her as the main playmaker. One of the CBs should be more mobile going forward than the other so keep one back at all times and give the other one some freedom. Play a long ball to the CF in the air quite often if you struggle to keep the ball often, they should be able to lay the ball off to the CM behind them.
