6v3 Rondo Discovery Game: 12 x 8 yds. or 18 x 12 yds. (20 min.)
- Attackers have 1 or 2 touches (can limit to 1 if 2 is too easy)
- Defenders are in for 90 seconds or 2 minutes
Progressions: 1) Defenders earn points by getting any touch on the ball to break up the play or a pass out of bounds by attacker.
2) Defenders earn points by winning the ball and connecting passes OR by dribbling out of the grid.
Objectives: 1) Recognize what space is most dangerous, make it as small as possible.
2) Techncially execute closing down (apply REAL pressure or proper movement to cover)
3) Win back possession.
Coaching Points:
- Read the game to perceive most dangerous space and therefore your line to defend
- Make that line/space as small as possible by rounding run and working hard to close down individually
- Have active feet to help block passing lanes
- Talk using "I go!" for first defender and to teammates in front of you: "Force left!"
- Make lines between defenders as small as possible to stay compact and cut passing lanes, to then force turnovers
- Recognize the proper time to go all out to force a turnover

High Pressure Transition Rondo: 3 Teams of 5 or 6 - 5v2 or 6v2 in 12 x 12 yd. grid w/ 5 yd. buffer (20 min.)
- 2-touch max, can go to 1-touch if too easy
- Connect 5 passes, play to other side, then break up possession/recover the ball for a point
- Can also score by pressing and scoring on small goals
- If you turn the ball over, you go defend (but therefor must recover possession and score on small goals for a point)
Objectives: 1) Recognize what space is most dangerous when defending
2) Close down and apply REAL pressure
3) Recover possession
Coaching Points:
- How are you closing down? Techncially execute tactical choice based on what space is most dangerous... Make that space as small as possible!
- Work rate to close down and apply REAL pressure
- Work rate from second defender to travel with first defender
- COMMUNICATION!!!! "I GO!" Keep it simple to build the habit...

4v4 Small sided game
Blues try to put together 5 passes then break the half way line and score

CPS:
When do we step to try and win the ball? What mistakes are we looking for?
Identify the moment the team in possession are weak - Can we anticipate this?
Distance and angles of supporting players
Defending as a team - Accountability
When will we press the goal keeper?
