Pitch approximately 30x45 split into 3 zones. The team in possssion are looking to progress through the zones to score. Zone 1 is effectively 3v1, zone 2 is 3v2 and the final zone is 3v2 (excluding the keeper). When the ball is played into the next zone only one player can progress with the ball except into the last zone where 2 players can go to create a 3v2. Defenders can't move between zones. Once the play breaks down start again with the opposite team attacking.

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.
