Set up your field and separate to zones behind the posts. Place 3 pugs on each side as shown in the image.
PROGRESSION 1
Players inside the box play a 1v1 with two players on the sides (jokers) providing support to the attacker.
Aim of the attacker is get past the defender using the numerical advantage he has.
For a goal to count attackers in zone 1 and 2 need to move in order to outwit the defender and receive the ball. If a defender in zone 1 or 2 receives the ball then they become the attackers.
PROGRESSION 2
Same sequence but now players go 2v2 inside the box.

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.
