Teams of 3.
First player to dribble across the pitch and lay the ball off to the second player.
In their stride, the second player does the same and passes to the third payer.
The third player quickly takes the ball down the line and crosses in.
The previous two players must make a run after passing, one to the goal and the other on the reverse wing to pick up any cross that gets through.

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.
