3 drills
drill 1 dribbling and step overs then striking aiming to the corners . Players can try or do fients but the pont is to get around and then shoot with some trickery, no stress but a chance to practice
drill 2
Protect the ball as shown in the other diagram
Drill 3
crossing 3 players two getting into the box and one crossing . Then we swap to the other side .
if the crossing is difficult move the wide player closer but we practice running and crossing not dead ball .
The two striking players must keep the line and not be ahead of the crossing player until the ball is struck . We are looking at delivery rather than the strike but time to try vollies etc

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.
