- The first defender passes a ball into the 3 attackers.
- The defender immediately step into the grid and become the defender creating a 3v1 inside the grid.
- The 3 attackers attempt to put together as many passes as possible.
- The attackers continue passing until the defender wins the ball, or the ball is knocked out of play.
- Once the play is dead, the next defender plays into the same 3 attackers, and play resumes.

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.
