A player starts with the bal and needs to kick it over the net to try and score a spoint like in tennis.
The ball can be returned by any player and the pitch should be a small area marked out by cones.
It works on players accuracy at volleying/ half volleying the bal into precise areas in order to score points. It also works on co-ordination of needing to voley the ball or half volley it back.

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.
