There will be 3 servers with 1 GK working.
Firstly, the GK will receive a pass from the middle server. The GK has 2 touches to pass the ball to a wide server.
Once the wide server has returned the ball to the GK, the GK will then have 2 touches to open out and give the ball to the opposite wide server. The GK will then receive the ball back from the wide server and pass the ball back to the middle server.
This pattern continues as the GK works for 1-2 minutes.
Each GK will work for 2 sets.

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.
