In a 6x12 yards area with a line approx. 12 inches from the ground across the middle of the area, two teams of 2 players compete. The rules are: 1) The ball must pass below the line; 2) The ball must be played to a player on the opposite team; 3) The ball must never come to a complete stop.
Teams lose points if 1) The ball stops, 2) The ball crosses over the line; 3) The pass isn't directly to an opposing player.
* Pass must be strong and on the ground.
* Receiving player must perform a positive movement of the ball enabling the teammate to pass quickly.
* Players should avoid giving bouncing passes.

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.
