A quick fun shooting activity (Numbers) (No Gk)
2 Teams of 8
Each player in each team will be numbered from 1-8
When your number is called, you must be the first to react to get the ball and shoot into the small goals. (Both sides will have two small goals)
There are no goalkeepers, so players must take their time to control the ball and calmy kick it into the small goals
Control, first touch, penetrating moving the ball forward is key in this drill

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.
