Two different types of goals can be scored in this game. The one drawn is the ball is played out wide for a cross into the box. Either the ball or the man can go through a gate but both can't go through the same gate. If it is played out wide the attacking team attacks the goal and the defending team tries to defend the cross.
Not drawn is through the central gates. If the ball is played through here the attacker can go in un opposed for a first time finish on goal. Same rule applies the ball or the man through a gate but both can not go through the same gate.
If Orange wins the ball they must make 5 passes then play to one of the two yellows feet for a goal.

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.
