The small-sided games are split for the number of players and pitch size (width × length). The total pitch area (m2) and area per player (m2 · player) have been calculated. The number of floaters, when required, is reported between bracket (i.e., one floater: +1f, two floaters: +2f, etc.). Average locomotor demands are reported for total distance (TD), high-speed running (HSR), very high-speed running (VHSR), sprint (SPR) and acceleration/Deceleration (Acc/Dec). Data are reported as mean (SD).
