Up and Through Rondo (20 mins)

8 x 8 Grids (x2) - with dividing line

White Team want to retain - to switch to other end via the middle receiving player (10) - ball can't return to starting square untill it reaches target player

Dividing line player becomes central player - central player moves to dividing line

Wide players move up to support ball

There should always be 2 defenders with ball - so nearest defender moves across - defenders stay in untill they have won the ball a set number of times (3 usually) or and agreed time.

Key Points:

-Use of central player to move defenders - able to create passing line for dividing line player

-receiving player body position - positive to play forwards (could give dividng line player 2 touches)

-look for passing patterns/combinations with use of wide players

Up Back Through (20 mins)

Two 12x16 boxes - but with neutral zone in middle. (5 yards)

Objective now is for attacking team '9' to drop into zone to set ball for attacking 4 or 2/3 who plays into target player in the next zone. 7 and 11 should then make diagonal runs to support ball

2 defenders with ball - one needs to move as previous

Key Points:

- 9 movement to be able to come and set the ball

- 9 doesnt want to spend time in middle zone - retreat if pass doesnt come

-intensity of wide player to either make diagonal supporting run - or to move back to cone

-emphasis up-back-through pattern
