Drill Objective(s)
ORGANISATION:
Mark out a grid is 50 x 50yrds, depending on age and ability of players. Play 7 v 7 or half a pitch with five to eight goals 4-5 yds apart.
INSTRUCTIONS:
2 teams compete to try and score goals in the gates by passing through the gate to a team-mate. Floaters can be added to help keep possession if the players are struggling to hold the ball.
SCORING:
Score by playing the ball through any goal and regaining possession. Players can't score through the same goal straight twice (players must go to another goal first).

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.
