Using Whole pitch area
Set up - 1 Server, 1GK and 2 Teams
4V2 in each half
The Ball starts with the server who plays it into the blue team.
The Blue team have to pass the ball around and find a pass to one of the 'forwards' in the other half. Once the pass is made 3 players need to remain in their own half.
The 'forwards' needs to be moving around to create space and 'lose' the defender.
Once the pass is made to one of the forwards they play 2V4 with the support of one of the defending players.
Once the play is finished the defender has to drop back into position for play to start with the Reds
PROGRESSION
As soon as the pass is made to the forward, the server plays another ball into the 4V2 and play continues
If the forwards are still playing 2V4 then the team must keep possession and wait for the pass to become available
If the defending team(red) win the ball then they can play to their own player who also has to play 1V1.
COMMUNICATE - The forward needs to make themselves available and let their team know they want the ball
The defenders need to communicate to make sure there are always 3 in their own half
HOW DO I RECEIVE THE BALL- Get body position ready to receive the pass - Sideways between defender and ball, receive on back foot.
MOVEMENT - find space to create the pass. Lose your marker. Forward needs to move the defender away from the play and then move closer.
AWARENESS - Play with head up and look to see if ready to receive the ball
PROGRESSION
RECOVER - Once the ball is lost be prepared to work hard to get back and defend

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.
