This practice is here so you can see what to do when under pressure in a football game when you need to take a shot. The striker has to pass the ball out to the left or the right winger, then the winger has to put the ball back in to the box or the edge of the box allowing the striker to run on to the ball and only having 3 touches (or less). Once the striker has taken the shot he has to swap around with one of the defenders, then each defender has to defend twice before going back to the end of the cue. Once the attackers have gone around twice two people swap over with the wingers

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.
