Idea of drill is to introduce combining with a player in a forward position.
Forward player to play back to feeder and peel off to create space and receive a through ball
Depending on level and numbers introduce 2 players doing the same movement in the opposite direction. 1 move at a time, then both together
Differnet passes, short short long - draws defenders in before through pass.
Forward to create space after layoff
feeder to meet return pass, forward movement

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.
