Play a game of possession of even numbers but add 3 players floating players to (yellow) represent the mid-field 3. 3 5X5 Squares are marked as shown. The midfield trio (6,8,10) will be involved with the team in possession. They will try to receive the ball in one of the squares and relay it back to the same team. The squares are only occupied to receive the pass and relay it out then vacate the zone. It should be a high intensity realistic game with all the coaching options in view.
Quick accurate passing, good decision making. Great movement off the ball to create space. 3 Midfield players showing intelligence to get into a square to get the pass.

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.
