1. Blue team attacks and tries to pass first yellow opponent (same as Version 1).
2. If they pass without being touched, they move into the second space where it becomes a 3v2. The one outer defender (in yellow) must run around the red cone in order to come into the game and create the 3v2 while the outer attacker (in blue) can run straight into the game in order to create the overload.
3. Blue team must evade and run pass the yellow opponents without being touched in order to score a try.
4. If the blue team at any stage is touched, they must retreat back to starting position. Both players who begin on the outer on the 6m line, must also begin back at the starting position. If the offensive team score, they must also start again at the starting position.
- Offensive team (blue) must use quick pass combinations and running moves to evade the yellow team to score a try.
- Utilise Touch moves such as wraps and overlaps.
- Try to split the opponent.
- Defending team (yellow) try to 'look big' and bait the opponent in to making bad decisions with 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.
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.
