Set up an area approximately 40x40yds with the groups set out 2 players per cone. Add more cones for more players or more players to a cone. Ensure cones are spaced out evenly.
One player from each team runs at any one time. The player running must run around the full areas (outside of cones) trying to catch the team ahead of them. Once they get back to the cone they tag their team mate and they then continue the chase. Depending on the fitness levels of the payers will depend on how many circuits are completed in one go i.e. 2, 4, 6 etc.

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.
