Red passes ball into path of white player and then makes an overlapping run. White then plays a diagonal pass into path of the yellow and makes overlapping run down the left.
Yellow can then cut inside and shoot, or pass to either wide player and get in box for cross.
Progress by adding in defender(s).
Initial passes have to be accurate, into the path of moving player and not into their feet.
Mix up the attacks. Don't always finish with yellow cutting in and shooting. Use wide players sometimes, shoot sometimes etc.
Encourage creativity.

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.
