In 2-3-1 formation in 7v7, the striker is the "1" and typically the primary goal scorer. The striker should move side to side when the ball is on the defensive half to provide an outlet and should not come too far back into their own half. Normally, the striker stay around the midfield line and provides support to teammates when defending. Offensively, the striker should not move to far wide, unless play pulls them in that direction to win the ball or run onto the ball. The striker should look to put a shot on the goal, or look to lay off a pass to the wide midfielders or center mid.
