Abstract: : Introduction: Within the different categories of youth football, due to the fact that these are players in training and in continuous physical development, the playing spaces and regulations should be adapted to positively influence the psychomotor development of the player in training. Aim: To analyze the midfielder position of the champion team of the Promises League 2019, in the Children's category (children aged 11-12-13) in order to assess the degree of adaptation of the playing spaces and the current regulations. Methods: To achieve the proposed objective, an ad hoc observation instrument has been created, following the guidelines of the observational methodology, with a subsequent qualitative analysis through the analysis of polar coordinates for the treatment of the data obtained. Results & discussion: At a spatial level, a tendency to play to the right is observed, favorable laterality of the player. At a technical level, the player shows skills superior to those expected for this sport modality. At a tactical level, the player proposes a more vertical game with interactions with offensive players. As a general conclusion, the 7-a-side football modality does not favour the complete technical-tactical development of the midfielder, significantly limiting his relationships and his technical-tactical possibilities.
