Two teams; red and blue
Two players line up facing each other about 30 yards from goal.
Both teams play quick single touch passes between eachother.
When the coach calls a colour/side, the attacker nearest the goal must turn with the ball and get a shot away at goal.
The opposition player nearest the goal must turn and block any shot.
The two other players now move up and are next in line for a shot.

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.
