MF Defending Rondo (20 mins)

Organisation

Area is 32 x 20, divided into 4 zones as shown.

The White team are locked in to simulate the 2-3 MF in a 1-4-2-3-1.

The central Blue player can move anywhere in the middle 2 zones.

How to Play

Coach plays a ball into the 2 Blue players who must try to work the ball to the opposite end, via the Blue MF player.

When the ball goes into the middle zones, one of the rear Blues can step in to support.

Once the ball reaches the far end, one of the Whites moves up to form a 3 and repeat from that end.

If Whites win the ball they should try to play to the Coach on the outside.
