Set up both teams as a 4-1-2. Ball must go in to striker and be played back in to defensive zone. Tow players can then enter attacking zone to compete 4v4.
Progress - if ball doesnt go back in to defensive zone, only only player can join in attacking half. Defensive team having 4v3, but recognising when the quick option to attack is on.
Movement of strikers to create space.
Support from midfield runs.

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.
