This is a free play session set up with two goals for each team (Blue Team vs. Green Team).
A yellow person will always play offense to create a 3 v 2 situation. The goal of the yellow player is to check into the space in the middle of the field to receive the ball as a target player. This movement is desinged to collapse the defense and draw them out of their defensive positioning.
Everytime the ball changes possession of the teams the yellow player must run to the opposite end line and check back in the middle.
The two attackers can choose to play 2 v 2 or slow up play and wait for the third attacker to check in.

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.
