4v2+1 Rondo

Key Objectives

Get players playing off 1 or 2 touch, moving the ball quickly and combining with teammates

Technical/Coaching Points

• The player in the middle is the focus of coaching, how to create space through movement

• Quality of passes to where the player is moving

• Communication between the player on the inside and those on the outside

Organisation

Mark out a square roughly 10x10. 4 player round the outside, 3 in the middle. 1 of the middle players will play in possession with the players on the outside, so the 2 defenders centrally holding bibs

How to play

Players on the outside attempt to keep possession, points are awarded if they are able to combine with their teammate centrally

If a defender successfully regains possession then they swap with the player on the team in possession

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 defenders from the middle

• Limit touches
