This drill introduces the other type of passing in football (long passes) which is instrumental in chance creation as this helps with switching the play and crossing the ball into the box. This drill focuses on switching the play to the other wing after every successful switch the player will follow the ball to the side they kicked the ball to. This drill does allow the ball to bounce 2 times on the way other but if players find it to easy the drill can be adapted to make no bounces until the ball gets to the other marked out wing.

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.
