This works both ways. Defending and attacking. There will be a person on the red con passing the ball to the attackers (Blue cons) then the attacker who gets the pass will turn and attack the goal but depending on which side the player passes to the defenders (green cons) will run up and try and tackle the attacker before he can shoot on goal.
Tell the attackers to step off the cns to receive the ball and tell them that their first touch should be good enough to let them turn.

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.
