The drill starts with group 1 and each player has a ball each. Group 1 player dribbles with the ball until he reaches the middle of the two cones in front of him, at this point the player traps the ball dead.
As soon as the ball is dead group 2 player runs towards the dead ball and proceeds to dribble the ball towards any of the two goals in front of him to get a shot at goal.
The player in group 1 after trapping the ball dead sprints forward and around the cone infront of him to then chase down the attacking striker who is going to shoot for either of the two goals.

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.
