10v5 rondo

SET UP =10v 5,pitch size 20ydsX15yds or adjust to suit players

6 mini goal or 6 goals with poles

4 poles for corners 

supply of balls

Action= 10 possession players play 2 touch and try to connect 10 passes work up until its a challange,5 attacking pressing players close the net try to win ball back and score in mini goa

play 3 minutes swap attacking team

6v6+2 gk+2 neutrals

keep ball below head height

PROG=can play air balls 

CP= attacking players close the net as a unit and dont worry about players on oppossite side of the field,if blues lose it the must press aggressively also

play vertical passes try not to go back,chances fo scoring after 10 seconds decreases massivly

must counter press when lose more chance winning it in first 8 seconds

getting within 1 meter of a player is not close enough must run through him

always take risk to win the ball and be in a position to do so

if the ball is on left touchline every player must be in that half of the pitch and same on other side

if team play long balls defence has to be aggressive also and midfield and forwards all drop fast to recover 2nd balls

leave player from opposition on far side of pitch he's not a threat and will have time to shuffle across

in game attack straight from kick off make your presence felt

counter press=if initial press is beat and if your numbers up or even numbers in defence we still press aggresivly (liverpool drop back and wait on support)we press again

when playing passes we try to keep a 10yd distance so its easier to find passing lanes
