This attacking plan looks at how your team can improve their counter-attack, to quickly change the point of attack. Stun your opponents by winning the ball from their attack and forming one of your own, catching them off-guard.
What's in the session?
The drills in this plan look at developing the all round attacking ability of your team. No matter what position they play, all your footballers are encouraged to create space and improve their 1v1 dribbling and passing ability, while also looking for an end product.
Goals win games in football, so use this plan to improve your team's positive passing and encourage them to counter-attack more regularly.

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.
