Two teams Red/Blue in queue with each having a ball.
To start: Red player defends goal opposite queue of red players.
Blue runs into box with ball to score.
Red cannot challenge until blue has entered the box.
If red wins the ball, they must dribble into or pass into a teammate in the white 5x5 yard box.
Same Blue Player must then defend goal opposite their queue and red attacks.
In Defence:
Anticipation. Jockey Stance.
Force opp. away from goal.
wait until offensive player makes mistake with dribble. step across/get body across the oppenent to win ball.
In Offence: try to get in behind defender. utilize the space behind them. use body to protect the ball.
close dribble. attempt on goal from close range. don't shoot for the sake of shooting.

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.
