Rob the Nest/Stuick in the mud
The aim of this game was to warm up the team up and also teach the boys how to correctly tap their opponent.
The game starts off with two teams each with one ball to defend on either side of the field. When told to, the two teams have to try and steal the other team's ball whilst protecting the ball. If someone is tagged by the opposing team they are then stuck where they are tagged until they are tagged by someone on their own team. The first team to retrieve the ball from the opposing team's side and makes it back to their side without being tagged wins.

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.
