Defending Rondo

Organization:

  • 12 x 12 yard zones.  2v2 in each zone, plus neutral players as shown in the diagram.  Basically, set up like 3 consecutive 4v2 rondos.  Objective is to play through the three zones (must use the central neutral to advance into the next zone), to create a shot on goal.  If the defending team (the red team in the above diagram) wins the ball, they can play to their counter goals.

Coaching Points:

  • Pressure/cover shape of 2 defenders in each zone
  • Counter Press mentality when attacking team loses the ball

Progression/Variations:

  • Can adjust numbers to additional group defending work
