- Split into 4 even numbered groups onto each of the 4 cones
- The players on the bye-line should all have a football with several spare at both cones
- One group on the bye-line starts by passing the ball diagonally, either in the air or on the ground, to the group on the edge of the box
- The player recieving the pass controls the ball and shoots
- Once the player takes his shot, the first player from the other group on the bye-line passes the ball and so forth
- Players should move in a clockwise direction
PROGRESSIONS
- Begin to limit touches taken by the player recieving the pass
- Move the position of the shooters to work on shooting from different positions

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.
