Split players evenly. Have players line up in their team at the blue cone. The coach will collect all of the balls and position themselves along one side of the drill. The coach will call out a number of players that will be included in the drill (1, 2, 3 or 4). Once the number has been called, that number of players will go around the yellow cone in front of them and attack the goal that they are then facing.
If calling out more than one player, ensure they pass before shooting.
Remind players how to pass and how to dribble.
Make it fast paced.
Have fun, all kids love this game.

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.
