Set up cones to make a small side field according to the diagram. Split up into 2 teams using pinnies. No goalies (make sure Nathan R. and Adam are not on the same team)
Have them pick positions into a formation that forces triangle shapes. (Usually we have enough for 4v4) so a diamond shape works best.
The objective of the drill is to have teams pass at least 3 times before they look to score. To score a player needs to make a run into the box and receive a pass from a teammate into the box.

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.
