To Start blues are attacking and reds are defending.
The aim is for the red player (defender) to stop the blue player from dribbling the ball into the cone goal at the end of the pitch.
The defender when he intercepts the ball must keep possession for 5 seconds and keep the ball within the marked area.
If the defender keeps possession for 5 seconds the game starts again.
The ball starts with the defender who passes to the attacker and then immediately closes him down.

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.
