Rondo - Warm Up (15 mins)

Instructions -

4 vs 1 Rondo- 3 passes before passing to next square clockwise, diagonally opposite the pressure comes from

Coaching Points -

Within 2-3 passes, players should be positioned with maximum width, player(s) who occupy the deepest opposition defensive line and a support option behind the player in possession.

Support players are close enough to combine in possession or enforce a counter press if required.

Optimal player positioning should be between lines or/and in half spaces.

In possession, players have the goal to receive and release the ball within 1 second (high tempo possession).

Passes executed with appropriate weight and pace. Look for diagonal passes.

Dribbling/ Running with the ball is quick, direct and aggressive.

Counter Points

Prevent the opponent from penetrating our defensive shape

Force mistakes – turnovers, flat passes, negative passes

Take control – guide play to where we want the ball to go to and how we are set up to defend.
