SET UP- Use 18 yard box. Set cones to run around at each corner. The Play - Each line of outside players take turns serving and shooting. Example: X1 dribbles around cone to end line and plays ball back to center for player from X2 line to take 1st time shot at K1. Then X1 moves to X2 line and X2 moves to X1 line. Next player from X2 line dribbles around cone and plays ball into next player from X1 line who shoots at K2 - etc. While X1 and X2 go to their next line then O1 serves O2 etc.
Progress to chips from servers for heading finish.
If you want longer shots move goals back.
Punch/push balls on the ground into the corners. Composure. No need to blast the shot rather use the energy of the ball.
Head to score low and into a corner.
Communicate - verbal and non-verbal ( eye contact
Time runs, weight pass, time pass

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.
