The objective of this dril is to practice receiving a high ball with your back to goal.
The player in the middle will request a high ball from each player on the outside, control the ball and turn quickly to get a shot away.
The shooter must remain in the area.
Progression 1
Add in one defender who is outside the square and then allowed to press the attacker as the ball is played in. The attacker must then control, turn and make space for the shot
Progression 2
Add in another attacker (2 on 1) who must link up for a shot. Allow only one defender
If at any time the ball goes out of the square, the chance has gone.

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.
