One game of possession based football while being small match ups aswell.
Pitch is split into 3 areas
Each section has 2/3 players from each team, they are not allowed out of there area (to be marked by cones)
Use each section correctly, defenders vrs attackers (both goal ends) and the midfield section to be a midfield battle.
Each section should be looking to make space for the others sections and making the pass easier.
To score they have to stop the ball on the oppisite teams line goal.
First to 5/10 or just as many goals in possible in certain amount of time.
Make sure players are making space and also closing down other players in their section when they dont have possession
Make the drill harder by making the areas smaller or allow less touches

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.
