Two zone match where we start 4v4 on one zone and 2v2 on other zone.
We try to play to play ball to next zone. Two attackers and two defenders can go to another zone. So it is always 4v4 on the zone where the ball is played.
Team can pass or drive the ball to another zone. We score a goal by driving the ball to goal zone or by passing through pass to goal zone (offside rule).
Key coaching points: (1)Protecting the ball (keep the ball away from the defender by using correct foot, your arms and body), (2)Keep your head up and search a way out by dribbling or by passing, (3)Do not try to do impossible - pass the ball out if advancing by driving is not real possibility. Prioritize the maintaining the possession of the ball, if you dont have real chance to advance.

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.
