Use this session to help your players get the better of bunching teams, by using the full width of the pitch, switching the ball out of trouble and into space to change the point of attack.
To make sure your players lift their heads and pass the ball away from danger into space we work on creating space and spreading the ball. If one side of the pitch is congested your players should switch the ball across and attack the free side - sounds simple, and it is... when you're stood on the sidelines! Make sure your players can see what you see.
What's in the session?
Using fast passing, quick thinking and plenty of movement you'll be able to get your players taking up wide positions on the field - taking defenders with them and stretching your opposition to breaking point!

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.
