2 players in the middle of the circle, numbered 1 & 2. all remianing players around them with 2 balls in play. Number 1 calls for the ball from the outer player then immediatley passes to number 2 who then plays it back out to another player on the outer circle who is calling for the ball, in the mean time number 1 would of recieved the other ball and must now play to number 2 who then again passes to an outer circle player and so on, swap players 1 & 2 with another 2 after a while.
1. looking for good callouts for the ball
2.looking for good clean passes from all players especially numer 1 & 2 (inner circle players)
3. looking for player awareness making sure they are all sharp and alert to recieve and pass 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.
