2 teams will compete up to 15 points in a volleyball type game where players can only header the ball or volley/half volley the ball. Each team is only allowed one bounce of the ball in their own half. They should then attempt to put the ball back into the opposition's half. Points won if other team are unable to return the ball into the half. Ball to be served in by player. As many serves until they lose they point. Serve then goes to the other team. Points can only be won on team's own serve. Same player cannot serve again until whole time has served. First one to 15 points wins, must win be 2 clear points. (i.e. if 14-14, must play until clear winner.)

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.
