  • 1 Player    -  Kick ups or dribbling with turns
  • 2 Players     - Kick ups or dribbling with turns
  • 3 Players     -    Passing in a Triangle
  • 4 Players          -    Rondo - 3 v 1
  • 5 Players          -    Rondo - 4 v 1
  • 6 Players     -    Rondo - 4 v 2

Rondo Rules - When a players causes possession to be lost (Defender gets the ball or the ball goes out of play) the player replaces a defender in the middle.

 

Coaching Points:

 

In Possession (Attackers)

 

  • Good movement off the ball to provide the player with the ball passing options.
  • Good movement off the ball to draw the defender to create more space for the team mate with the ball.
  • Quick pass when a team mate is free as moving the ball quickly tires the defence quickly.
  • Good Quality Passes - 1st line (closest team mate), 2nd line (Miss the closest team mate) and 3rd line (Play to though defenders to a team mate at the other side of the grid) passes.

Defenders

  • Positional Intelligence - Optimum position to cut out the pass and pressure the player with the ball
  • Team work (when defending with a partners) - Optimum positions to cut to hem in the player with the ball and cut out passing options
  • Decision Making - When to stand a player up and when to try and nick the ball
  • Defending Stance - Low centre of gravity. Watch the ball rather than the player.
