Working with one ball between two players start on opposite cones. The first player dribbles the ball to the end cone whilst the other player jogs past them to the other cone.
On reaching the far cone the player with the ball turns and plays a flat, driven pass to the other player on the cone.
To make the drill more interesting players should dribble dynamically with the ball - dropping their shoulder, using both feet and if they are comfortable doing so, skills on the ball such as step overs.
When the player with the ball reaches the end they should perform a turn before passing the ball (drag back, Cruyff, step over).

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
