Set up: 1 GK, 3 Teams of 3 - red, blue and grey.
GK passses the ball out to one of the 3 waiting to start. The team of 3 pass and move down the field into a crossing position and cross the ball in to try and score.
Dashed lines represent a pass/shot and squiggled lines represent player movement.
Progressions would be to limit touches, vary finishing and crossing styles. Insert a time limit.
Further progressions would look at the player movement. Attempting to decieve opponents so over lapping each other.

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.
