Set up as with 2 teams. The denfeding team need to have a GK so that the outfield players are outnumbered
Attackers need to be set up in a formation and defenders need to do the same (eg 3-2 and 3-1)
Attackers need to score in the normal sized goal and defendes can score in either of the 2 smaller goals
PROGRESSION
Add extra players to the defense or the attack
Decrease the size(width) of the pitch
Enforce Keep ball on the floor and 2/3 touch to get the ball moving quickly
Defense will be outnumbered so will need to work and and communicate. They will need to pass players on and ensure they are not pulled out of position

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.
