Possession game with 2 teams playing in different formations a 3-1-2 and a 2-3-1. The pitch is set up with 5 vertical chanels and 4 horizontal chanels to play in. Idea of the game is to keep possession by not being in the same chanels as your team mate and using width and depth to beat the defending team.
When possession is changed then the team with the ball is looking to use the width and depth.

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.
