Start by putting 2 tall cones/poles 20 yds away from each other. In the middle, place a cone just to the side as a marker for the players to line up behind.
Players must start at the cone, run to the top, around the bottom and back up to the middle where the next player should take the ball off them.
Progression 1 - Get players driving off the middle cone.
Progression 2 - Next player waiting comes out and waits for the ball. When player in possession gets to bottom cone, he must play it to the next player.

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.
