one ball for every 2 players.
players are jogging around in the area. players with balls are dribbling and on the whistle pass the ball to their pair.
-pass only with right/left foot
-add 2 defender whose aim is to steal the ball.
try to keep the pace with and without ball. also keep the ball inside the area.
be aware of their pairs and the surroundings(other players, balls, side line)

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.
