Players split to the four stations shown in the image. Each one with a ball. Create a yellow square using flat cones.
PROGRESSION 1
Players driblle towards the red cones and feint away from the defender. The aim of this drill is to pass by the defender and shoot towards the goal before exiting the yellow square.
FEINTS
PROGRESSION 2
Competition. Place one goal keeper only on one side (e.g. blue). Red player runs towards the cone feints away and shoots to score. As soon as he takes the shot a blue player on the side of the post begins his run. The red player that took the shot has to run back and become a goal keeper!! The team that scores the most goals wins!
Give double points to the player who dribbles and scores with his weakest foot!

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.
