Drill Objective:
This is a soccer drill designed for under 6 soccer players. It is designed to work on simple body movement, coordination and balance.
Drill Setup:
In a unmarked area gather your players without their soccer ball (you can introduce this later in this drill). The coach should come up with short list of activities such as: skipping, one-legged hops, star jumps, log rolls, summer salts, push-ups, etc...
Drill Instructions:
The coach should start by asking the players "I can do [activity] can you?" The coach should then demonstrate to the players the activity and have the children do the same.

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.
