Split players in two teams. Red players attackers, yellow players defenders.
PROGRESSION
Red player in position B has to trick his opponent to find the time and space to ask for a pass from player A. Player A passes to player B and receives a back pass. Players in Red move forward trying to score against the yellow players who are the defenders. If the players in Yellow win the ball they may score to the two small goals in the opposite side.
Advice players to create space for themselves by moving the opposite direction before receiving the ball.
Advice players to keep moving to exploit space created and create space for their teammate. Advice players to use their body to protect the ball and if possible make a turn.

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.
