2026-27 Season
Built for Future Fit
from day one.
The FA's grassroots restructure starts this season. A new 3v3 entry format for U7s. 11v11 moves from U13 to U14. New ball-size mapping. Heading phased out U7–U11. Most drill sites haven't updated. SimpleDrills was built for it.
- ✓ Every drill tagged against the new framework
- ✓ Build pipeline rejects drills that violate Future Fit rules
- ✓ 3v3-specific drills for the new U7 entry format
About
A real coach, not a content farm.
SimpleDrills is built by a UK-based FA Level 2 coach. The existing drill resources are either paywalled, faceless listicle sites, or written by affiliate marketers who don't actually coach a team on a Sunday morning. This is the resource I wanted when I started.
Every drill here gets used in real sessions before it goes on the site. If it doesn't work with mixed-ability kids, late arrivals, or 6 players when 12 were expected, it doesn't get a page.
