2. Sprint/Reactions - In Groups of 3 (3 Sprints Each):

Players stand near 3 central white cones to begin. Coach calls commands - left or right - players have to react and side-step and touch the cone with their foot and recover back to starting position. Coach can do this as many times as possible then calls a colour (blue or red) and players must react and race to that colour. Then next group of 3 enters.

Game Specific Rondo

Game Specific Rondo:

Setup: 2 Groups (1 group of 10 players, 1 group of 9 players). 3v3 in central area (blue vs yellow) with 3/4 support players in white.

The support/neutral players play for the team in possession, creating a 5v3 or 4v3 overload in central areas whilst having 2 support players on the boundary for support. The team on the outside (white in this instance) can slide and screen along the boundary line to create space and angles for a pass.

The support players rotate in position, if one of the central support players plays to a target support player they take a touch inside and the player who made the pass follows it and takes their place (as highlighted above in steps 1-3).

The teams in blue and yellow do not rotate with the neutral players but can play a pass to any of the neutral players if their team is in possession.

Encourage players to play at a high tempo, to move the ball quickly, make the pitch big, create angles for the pass, effectively communicate

Conditions: 2/3 Touches

Progressions: After 3 minutes swap the support players with another team until each team becomes the support players.
