Make up two teams (The teams for the final game). Depending on the size of the group, create a box marked off. The objective for each team is to string together 10 passes in a row. This is without the other team stealing/intercepting the ball off them OR without them kicking the ball out; past the cones. If a team gets 10 passes in a row, they get a point and must turn the ball over to the other team.
This drill helps show how important it is to stay in space and what precision passing can do.
This drill ends either if a team can get to 5 points of until after the time finishes.

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.
