Small sided field 20x30yrds
Team A plays 1/2
Team B plays other side
Team C is defending
Coach sends ball into play and Team begins passing and moving to space as 1 player from Team C moves into pressure
Team A completes as many passes as possible without losing possession and can pass across to team B after 3 passes
Another player from Team C will be sent in for support after the completion of 5 consecutive passes
Once Team A passes the ball across to Team B then Team C retreats and a new player from Team C is sent to pressure Team B
Continue for a desired amount of time and rotate teams
Receiving the ball across the body into the direction of play and protecting the ball

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.
