Straight SSG but limiting touches.
Start with 3 touches in final 1/3, 2 touches in middle 1/3 and unlimited touches in defensive 1/3.
Allow them play and get used to the constraints, no instructions only praise for good limited touch play.
Progression - Change the areas in which the limited touches are.
Understand how the players react to each area and whether players attract to certain areas dependant on the touches.
Do they understand as to what number of touches is best for each area?
Coaching Points - Minimal as it is player lead. If they identify low number of touches best seek for them to develop this in free play.

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.
