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.

Players in white start with the ball and pass diagnolly to the opposite attacker that should be leading towards the ball witht he ball. Attacker must them immediately change angle and place ball into box before they can return to the D and support team mate. Players in white run to the top D (straight after making their pass to the attacker) and pick up a new ball and take a shot at goal. Play rebounds.
Focus on running at angle and passing at angles. Fast ball pace Communicaton.
