There will be three of four players lined up at the half way line each with a ball at their feet. They will pass the ball to the player to the right of them and then it will be passed to the other player with a first time pass. Then, that player will lay it off with another first touch manuver and the player from the half way line will run forward and hit the ball first time, aiming for the section in between the cones and goalposts.
Use the inside of the foot for the passing and shooting as the drill is to improve accuracy and placement off passes and shots.
The player will also learn how to time their run in this drill so they will run onto the ball and connect with it with momentum behind them.

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.
