This drill is to get individuals (players) to know what pass to use in a smaller area by utilising the inside of their foot in a drill of El Rondo. If the players start to find it to easy I can adapt the drill and introduce a defender to put pressure on the players so they have to keep composed to play the correct pass to keep the defender away from the ball. If the players do this correctly then the defender should be tired by the end of the drill.

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.
