Separate into 2 teams and begin at markers spaced 5 yrds apart on one side of a 20x30yrd pitch
Coach sets up opposite side from markers and serves ball into the 10 yrd space.
The first 2 from each team battle to win the ball, gain control, next player from each team enters into pitch for support upon contact with the ball, players attempt to score on opposite side goals, and players must complete 2 passes before shot.
Keep track of goals per team
Keeping eye on the ball
Legal hip/shouler contact to gain advantage to ball

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.
