Teams and in particular midfields need to identify the right opportunities to turn defending into an attacking opportunity. This comes from being able to retain possession and identifying the right time to play
What?s in the Session?
The session begins with a small sided game, focussing on recognising the right opportunities to attack. The session then transitions into developing and trying to get your players into better positions to capitalise when they identify the right time to attack. Finally the session looks to replicate a match situation. By doing this it'll allow them to think for themselves more when in a game situation.

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.
