Players divivded to four stations as shown in the image. In the middle of the pitch create a circle using flat cones.
PROGRESSION 1
The aim of this drill is for all players to enter all 4 squares without losing their ball. For them to be able to enter another box they first have to enter the circle in the middle of the pitch change direction and run towards a different square. The first player to enter all 4 squares is the winner!!
PROGRESSION 2
Same sequence but now aadd 3 defenders in the box. Defenders re not allowed to enter the white squares nor the red circle in the middle of the pitch. Players need t run pass the defenders and follow the previous sequence. Attackers are allowed to run back to their square for safety. If caught they have to run back to their latest square. Change defenders after a while

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.
