The first drill will be a simple dribbling activity, using a line of cones at an equal distance apart. The players will line up behind each other and the first person will dribble in and out of the cones on the way up and on the way back. The next person in line can only go when the player before gets back. I will progress this drill by reducing the distance between each cone as this will the players have to be more precise and will be more challenging.
Dribble with a speed and intensity, whilst keeping the ball under control at all times.
Use both feet as well as the inside and outside of the 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.
