Attacking players are marked with an A and defenders are marked with a D. first theattackers pass the ball to each other whilst the defenders also pass a ball to each other , when the attackers are done they go to strike the ball through the defenders and then score a goal. this session is repeated vice versa where the defenders becone the attackers and the attackers become the defenders.
Communication- get the players to communicate with each other when they are passing the ball so they do not lose concerntration or posession.
Demonstration- demonstrate how to kick the ball correctly
footwork - kicking the ball with the correct part of the foot

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.
