Objective is to stay on the ball for as long as possible.
Players position themselves evenly around the 10X10M box and inside the box there is a 1V1 being played.
The game starts by a player on the outside passing the ball to the attacker in the box. The attacker protects the ball from the defender in the box, moving around with the ball if possible. Once the player feels uncomfortable he plays the ball back to a player on the outside of the box. This player then takes over as the attacker and another player from the outside will swap with the defender. If the Defender wins possession from the attacker he then becomes the attacker.
Time how long each player is able to hold onto 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.
