Set the players up in groups of 3s. Set up two lines of cones approximately 40yds apart. Have two of one team start at one line of cones and the reamining team member at the other line of cones.
One person works at a time. Player one dribbles the ball as fast as they can to their other team mate and passes them the ball. The player dribbling the ball stays at this line but player 2 does the same to player 3. Continue this for 3-5mins depending on the fitness of the players.

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.
