Goalkeeper starts with a goal kick.
The defenders and a central midfielder need to make 5 passes between themselves inside the orange area without interception by the red team.
If 5 passes are made, they can play a ball through to the winger who can run it through the cones at the end.
If the red team intercept the ball, they can shoot.
Remember, the blue team should push up a defensive line as the ball moves up to catch the red team offside..

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.
