Individual defending team game. Blues start play and dribble to just outside the D and hit a passive shot into the keepers hands (not trying to score). From there the keeper plays out to yellow and yellow attacks the goal with the blue player trying to defend. As soon as that play concludes (OB, defender wins ball, goal, or keeper saves and controls the ball), another ball is played out to green who then attacks the same blue player. Once both sides have completed next set goes. After all players go they switch lines, yellow goes to blue, blue goes to green and green goes to yellow. Once all teams have completed each line tally up the score.

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.
