Place goals back to back in centre of pitch with 3/4 feeders spaced around their own half on the outsides. These players cannot enter the pitch or cross the half way line. All 'inside' players from both sides must be in the same half. The reds shoot towards the goal in the half where their feeders are spaced around. If the blues win the ball they must switch the play to one of their feeders on the opposite side and all players must follow. Same happens if a goal is scored the ball starts on the opposite side.
If the ball is won, encourage a quick accurate switch of play.
Make use of the 8v4 when attacking.
Accurate shots are vital as if the target is missed the play switches to the other side.

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.
