3 Team Rondo (15 mins)

Intervals:

4 min work + 1 min rest x 3 reps = 15 min

Setup:

3 teams of 6

(GK work on own)

Grid split into 1/3s -- 30x20 (wider than long)

Activity:

Only defending team can score -- 1 point for winning ball and playing back to central channel; 3 points for scoring in goal behind attackers (small goal with no GK)

Attacking team should be setup with a back 4 in U shape, #6 in middle and #8 higher.

Progression:

+ Opposite team can send in one player to play in central channel (midfielder)

Coaching Points:

~ Technical details: receive across body, pass to proper foot, open body to field

~ #4/5 creating angles of support

~ #6 finding pockets of space between defenders (move opposite of ball direction)

~ #2/3 maintaining width

Up-back-thru Rondo (30 mins)

Intervals:

Setup:

3 Zone grid setup as shown (16x16 with 5 yard central zone)

2 Teams

8 attackers vs. 3 defenders

Activity:

Up-Back-Thru

4v2 in one grid, when the moment is right the attacking player in other grid (#7) should check into central zone, lay off to #8 while #2 gets forward to receive ball and play to #9.

Once there, the play is reversed (mirrored) to go the other direction.

Competition: Each team plays for 60 seconds before rotating attackers/defenders. 1 point for getting ball to farthest striker.

Coaching Points:

~ Opposite movement to lose defender in far grid (either by starting behind eye-line or by pushing into defender to create separation).

~ If defender doesn't track then #7 should turn and play directly to #9.

~ Wide players must make aggresive diagonal runs to receive ball at pace
