Place rings inside a grid. Acoording to the number of player you should have one ring less (e.g 7 players, 6 rings). Each player with a ball.
PROGRESSION
Players begin dribbling the ball inside the grid away from the rings. When the coach shouts STOP each player needs to react quickly and dribble towards one of the rings. The player that does not manage to enter a ring is eliminated. Players eliminated are watching the game on the sideline while performing ball mastery moves. Coach needs to remove one ring. Same sequence until you get a winner!
PROGRESSION 2
Same sequence but now the coach directs the player on how to dribble
1. Only with the right foot
2. Only with the left foot
3. Inside Left Outside Right
4. Inside Right Outside Left

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.
