The Basic Triangle but with movement
Players stand in a triangle and being just passing to each other in any direction .
Two touch control or one touch if possible but good weighted passes rather than over hitted or flimsy
Once the trio has become comfortable they add the movement of side skippingin a clockwise direction . Not too fast but at a comefortable speed .
So rather than being glued to the spot movement is added .
You might find that once the movement begins the passes go clockwise also so encourage them to pass in the opposite way or even instruct one pass forward one pass back .

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.
