4v2 Rondo (5 mins)
Set Up: 12*12 grid. Supply of balls on the outside. Two set ups.
Players: 8 players per grid. 4 attackers along the outside. 2 defenders in the middle.
Description: Play 4v2 rondo. Rotate defenders every 2 minutes. Rotate attackers half way through.
Key Factors:
1. First defender - speed/angle of approach. Make play predictable. Proper body shape/balance.
2. Second defender - angle/distance of support. Play off the shoulder of the first defender.
3. Communication.
4. Decision making - who presses/who drops. Don't get split.
5. Arrive as the ball arrives.
6. Cues to press: bad touch, bad pass, bounce, indecision, etc.
Progression:
1. Add an attacker in the middle.
2. Allow outside attackers to enter the grid.
Questions: Who pressures the ball? Who offers support? What can I tell my teammate when supporting them? If first defender is beat, now what?
