Small sided aerobic game.
4v4 in the middle
4 Supporting players on the outside
Everytime an outside player recieves the ball he swaps with a player in the middle they received the ball from apart from the injured player who stays on the outside.
5 Consecutive passes are equal to 1 goal, players must use the nuetral players on the outside to aid with the ball distribution. Nuetral players can't be tacked and can move up and down the outside of the pitch.
Possession game
5 passes = a goal
Injured player will allways stay on the outside as a nuetral, players in the middle should use outside players to distribute 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.
