Goalkeeper works on quick transition from one side of the goal to another. It also prepares him/her for potential crosses/high balls in the penalty box.
Make sure that goalkeeper does not use side step to move across the goal, it should be crossover step instead. When catching the ball, arms fully extended, knees up to protect him/herself. Give goalkeeper time to move over to the other side when throwing the ball.

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.
