For this minigame, the group will stay in their teams. The game is a basic penalty shootout, but the player will have to shoot first time whilst the ball is moving in to them. I, the coach, will feed the ball into the box, and players will sit right of the goal if they score, and left of the goal if they miss. The game will progess through the rounds, via shooting with their weak foot, using a special move, or volleying/heading the ball to try and score. The game will continue until one player is left, and this player will be the winner.
1. Ensure the head gets over the ball when taking a shot.
2. Ensure the shot goes on target, and beats the goalkeeper.

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.
