We play ball posession game 3v3 1 extra who can move free and plays with team in possession.
You can make it also competition after they learn the idea. 10 passes is a goal. Team that has five points win a match.
Free game, we only restrict the team with possession. They can have only one player in each square at same time. You can pass the ball to another player to another zone or if you see free zone you can drive the ball there. Defending team can move how they will, but you can also manipulate the exercise by making same rule to defending team. That is a way to make it clearly 1v1 situations where you have to be able to control ball and protect it while looking to pass away under pressure.
Adjust the size of the playing area. We have to make it very small so that players can not just pass the ball around. We probably have to coach defending team also to press heavily and to move to press while ball is moving.
We keep the same theme, protecting the ball.
Key points for attacking players: 1) Always keep ball away from opponent - set your body between ball and opponent also when you drive the ball, 2) Lower your body to have better balance while in struggle with defender, 3) Use your arms, 4) Know where from the opponent is pressing you from (check over your shoulders before receiving the ball and turn to other way), 5) Try to find a way out (passing or by turning)

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.
