Set Up: 20x20 Grid, Give each player a number (split into groups of no more than 5), one ball per group
Game: Everyone is moving around in the grid, ball starts at No 1 for each group. The players pass the ball within their own groups moving through the number 1 to 2 , 2 to 3 etc. once you get to the top number the ball goes back to number 1.
Progression: 2/3 touch only, players must go for a 5-10m dribble when they receive the ball.

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.
