Divide into 2 groups
(Players outside the square starts with the ball)
Make sure people do it twice each
1. Simple inside passes (left and right = call their names)
2. Inside foot volleys (Left and Right = try not to lean backwards)
(Standing foot still, and try to punch the ball instead of lifting it)
3. Receive the ball and dribble and pass to someone else without the ball
do two inside passes than receive and open on the third pass
(Talk about the movement off the ball, change of speed to receive the ball)
4. Chest control and half volley on the bounce
(Talk about the controlling the ball on the chest, go forward and control it)

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.
