Warm up passing exercise for 7/8 players working on accuracy of the pass, timing of the run and pass and the speed of the pass. The speed of the pass should be enough to potentially by-pass an opponent, but soft enough for your teammate to receive the pass.
Players should call for the ball at the correct time and correct place. The timing of the run should be accurate so there are no delays in the passing and the drill runs smoothly.
Start with 2 touches and progress to 1 touch.

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.
