groups o 5 or six. one person is bibbed in the middle, everyone else has to try and keep possesion of the football and keep it in the square.
The bibbed player has 1 minute to win the ball back as many times as possible, every time the ball gets kiscked out of the session the coach introduces a new ball.
At the end of the minute the players keeping possesion have to do as many burpees/squats/pressups as times they lost the ball. Whilst they do this the coach and bibbed player collect the balls in.
Swap around so evertyone gets a go in the middle.
Introduce rules such as 2 or touches on the ball, or they have to touch a cone beforee they can recieve a pass to make it harder for the team keeping possesion
collect possesion with correct foot, first touch away from the defender.

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.
