This drill helps play the way we face, establish body position, and create combination play to move the ball the direction we want.
The playing area should be about 10x10-15x15 (Depending on age range)
The goal is to score by playing a pass into the outside players feet. In order for them to count as a goal, you must establish a side to attack by passing back to the opposite side. Once you score, you go the opposite way and try to score as many points as you can in a row.
When the other team wins the ball, they must repeat that process.
The outside players can move along their side, but cannot enter the playing area. They have a max. 3 touch limit.
Inside players can challenge the outside players if they desire.
For improved speed: play the way you face, max two touch.
Focus on quick touches, positioning the body to receive the ball and protect it, and crisp passes and traps

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.
