4 As start in one zone against 3 Ds
4 As try to score in goal past GK & 3 Ds must use good collective positional play to defend the goal
If Ds win the ball, they should then pass the ball immediately to one of their teammates in the other zone where the same attacking scenario is created for the blues (4v3)
First team to 5 goals, if goal scored team which just conceded start with ball from GK
Time limit on As - 8 - 10 seconds
Ds should leave widest A free - all 3 stay in centre to defend
GK & Ds - good communication

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.
