The coach starts the game by passing the ball inside. The team who have the possession try to score by meeting with the ball in the range of the outside zones. If they do, they gain 1 point. Then they try to reach to the other end-zone. Or the coach sends a ball to the other team and they try to do a touchdown to the other outside zone.
You can't wait in the touchdown areas.(like the offside rule)
You can't defend in touchdown areas
If the ball goes out of the outside zone range, the coach sends another ball to the other team.
Progression: Max 2 touches
Attacking: Create space, exploit space
Defending: Find your man, close the passing channels, close down the opponenet

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.
