What Time Is It Mr. Wolf - Have players line up at one end of the box. You or a parent can be Mr. Wolf. Have the kids call out at the same time “What time is it, Mr. Wolf?”. Mr. Wolf calls out a time: 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, etc. If it’s 1 o’clock, the kids take one dribble then stop the ball with their foot....and so on. Once the kids get close to the other side where Mr. Wolf is, Mr. Wolf yells “LUNCH TIME” and turns around and chases the kids back to the starting line. The point is to have them dribble the ball back to where they started without getting caught.

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.
