Set up using 2/3rds of the 7 aside pitch. Red bibs 1 goal keeper with 2 defenders & 3 midfielders against blue Bibs 3 midfielders & 1 attacker. There is also positioned just over the half way line 2 target player in 5m square boxes for the reds to pass too. When they receive the ball they turn into the suppliers for the blues to attack the reds goal. There is also also a small net for the reds to pass into positioned in the centre. They recive 1 point for a pass into the net and 3 points for a pass to the target players if they receive it in their box. The blues get 5 points if they can score against the reds.
Spread out.
Look to find space by moving away from opposition players creating a good angle to recive the ball.
Look to move into space left by other players movement.
Try to anticipate the next pass so you can support the reciving player.

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.
