4 Person Square Passing
- 3 players position themselves on three corners of the square and provide passing opportunities for their teammate with the ball
- the defensive player cannot move outside of the square, but needs to steal the ball from the offensive players
- when the ball moves from one player to another, the 3rd teammate must move to the open cone to provide a 2nd passing option for the person with the ball
- don't be flat footed
- anticipate your teammate's pass
- always make sure you are paying attention, moving, and talking
- defensive player, contain, but don't lunge at 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.
