1 GK, 3 teams of 3. Aim of the game is to try and score.
GK passes ball to attacking team. On the first touch defenders become active. Attacking 3 players have to try get the ball forward between them to score. If they dribble through a gate, they get 5 points. If they cross the ball from the wing, they get 5 points. If the score from the cross, they get another 5 points. If defenders get the ball, they have to kick it to the team waiting to attack next. They will get 3 points.
After the attack finishes, attackers become the defenders, the defending team go to the attacking que and the team waiting now become the attackers.

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.
