Set Up: none.
Basics: Players dribble around and does whatever coach says. Just like Simon says.
Things to say: Stop, go, put your = foot, head, knee, elbow, butt, etc on ball. Go the other
way, 10 toe touches etc. Red Light Green Light is the same. Build up to turns and such
with older players.

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.
