1) K starts in middle of cone
2) K can start to go to either side they prefer as they will work both sides
3) K footwork is to go in front of the cone and then behind so they are going forward to ATTACK the ball
4) server opposite of the cone K goes around will provide the service
* EX: if keeper goes to his/her right then the Server on their Left will provide the service
Servers vary services for K to make decisions
2 cones - 6-8 yards apart
Keepers about varying ranges of distance 10 yards-20 yards out
2 balls for each coach/player tossing/volleying

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.
