Basically have three to four parents including the coach be favorite locations for the players. Players will dribble around to the diffenent locations getting the ball to the feet of the parent (location). Parent will pick up the ball and toss it back out and tell the player to go another location. Its like playing fetch. Parents at first will stay in same location (don't move to their ball). If the dribbling is progressing the start having the parents move to another locations temporarily.
Locations should be periodically called out so the players can remember where they are going.

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.
