The 3v3 format is the ideal starting point for any young footballer's development. Used at Under 6, 7 and 8 level, it maximises ball contact, keeps every player involved, and creates a fast-paced environment where children learn by doing rather than waiting. This guide is built around that philosophy — high touches, technical repetition, and game-based learning that keeps sessions fun and focused. Inside you'll find drills covering dribbling, shooting, passing, defending, and key basics like scanning, shielding and first touch, alongside 25 ready-to-use session plans structured to help you deliver purposeful coaching from the moment players arrive. If you're working with young players and want a complete resource to take onto the pitch, this is it. ➡️ Download
