8v2 Rondo

Key Objectives

Get players playing off 1 or 2 touch and comfortable moving the ball quickly to penetrate

Technical/Coaching Points

• Possession team must play quick in tight area with good touch

• Anticipate the next pass, be creative and deceptive, use a variety of touches and

  feints – seek out best option

• Defenders must apply pressure to the ball and support the pressure

• Constant communication between the 2 and shifting of positions relative to the ball

Organisation

Mark out a square roughly 10x10. 8 players spread out round the outside, 2 inside holding bibs

How to play

Players on the outside attempt to keep possession, points are awarded if they are able to play a pass that splits the 2 defenders.

If a player in the middle successfully regains possession then they swap with the player on the outside

Progression

If your plays find this too easy or too difficult, you could progress the game in the following ways:

• Alter the space

• Add more or remove players from the middle

• Limit touches
