Warm Up (5 mins)

Method: Basic Rondo warmup without opposition with players passing around the triangle to get used to the area they have to work with. Pass and receive every third ball. Stop every 30 passes for some dynamic stretches (5 mins)

Coaching Points: Correct body shape when receiving. Receiving on the back foot and passing with the other. Constant communication with each other looking to give a receive precisely. Constant communication required.

Warm Up Progression (10 mins)

Method: Progression on Rondo warmup with the opposition this time, with players passing around the triangle to get used to the area they have to work with. Pass and receive every third ball. Avoid opposition player who is trying to intercept. Swap out the middle player after possession is won. Stop after each break to stretch again. (10 mins)

Coaching Points: Correct body shape when receiving. Receiving on the back foot and passing with the other. Constant communication with each other looking to give a receive precisely. Constant communication is required. As well as movement around the cones to offer angles for your teammates. The player in the middle is not overcommitting and just trying to cut off passing lanes to win the ball back.

Progression pt 2 (15 mins)

Method: Progression on Rondo warmup with the opposition this time and a transfer, with players passing around the triangle to get used to the area they have to work with. Pass and receive every third ball. Avoid opposition player who is trying to intercept. Once one triangle has made the required passes they must transfer the ball to the opposite group who are waiting to receive it. The player in the middle is swapped after every possession won. 

Coaching Points: Correct body shape when receiving. Receiving on the back foot and passing with the other. Constant communication with each other looking to give a receive precisely. Constant communication is required. As well as movement around the cones to offer angles for your teammates. The player in the middle is not overcommitting and just trying to cut off passing lanes to win the ball back. He is going at full speed between the grids and to cut off the transfer while decreasing the amount of time each team has on the ball. (15 mins)

Main game (30 mins)

Method: The keeper plays out to the attacking team to start the phase. They play through the lines to try and score. If the defending team wins it back they have 30 seconds to counter. Stop the game as needed to adapt or implement points 

Coaching Points: Try and make the pitch as wide as possible despite it being narrow per setup. Plenty of communication to know when to make movements and to let the player know when to reset the play if stuck upfield.(30 mins)
