If Blue team win the ball then they can go for goal although they don't have the same wide options.
You can allow a Defender or winger to move in to the Attacker's box to create a 3 vs 2 overload
Red Attacker who has been passed the ball may pull back and let other Attacker have a shot at goal.

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.
