3V1 Directional Rondo.
3V1 in Grid A. After three passes the players try to get the ball through Grid B and into Grid C. Player gets 1 point for a pass through and two points for dribbling through. The passer-dribbler must then move into the new grid. Defender Blue A can enter Grid B. When the ball has succesfully made it through, a different defender enters to the new grid to press. Game continues. Rotate 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.
