Rondo Warm Up (15 mins)

SESSION - Press the ball.
The more a team can get the ball forward and the more players a team can get forward, the better the chance of scoring. Plus, if they lose possession they can press the opposition high up the field and win it back as they have numbers up there. This session works on making good forward passes and getting support as the ball moves forward.

Warm Up Rondo
PURPOSE:
•Win the ball and then help your team mates keep good possession.
SET UP:
•8 to 20 Players. Adjust the size of the circles accordingly.
•10 Cones or Discs
•Circular area
•15 minutes
The Practice.
1.Half the players in one circle with the other half in another circle with a gap between, and they should number themselves.
2. Number One from each team stand in the middle of the oppositions circle in preparation to win the ball.
3.Once play starts teams pass the ball trying to keep it off the opposition player/s. As soon as the opposition player/s win the ball they sprint to their circle and tag a team mate (they should remember whom the next number is) who sprints to the other circle to do the same.

4V4 + 1 Pressing & Transitions Game (25 mins)

Equipment

Balls

4x mini goals

cones to mark playing area and middle "receiving" box

Bibs

Players.

"separate colour for magic man"

2 teams of 4 (adjust as needed) are looking to work with a neutral player.

Teams take it in turns (2 minutes per turn) to be the pressing team or the passing team.

The pressing team look to prevent balls into a central box, whilst also preventing the passers making 3 or more passes.

The passers would gain a point for every successful set of 3 passes, and also for a successful ball played into a team-mate in the central box.

The pressers can win a point by winning the ball back and scoring in one of the 4 mini goals on the corners of the playing area.

If the passing team lose possesion with unforced errors or the pressing team press well, coach plays a new ball into the team.

After several goes each, which team can accrue the most points?

Coaching Points

Dont run direct at player with ball, use body shape to DICTATE, slow down the closer to the player they get.
Can a pressing team mate talk to his team mate to help the "DICTATE"
Pressing team need to try and win the ball back quickly.
