Double Rondo with transition

Setup:

Two adjacent 10x10 grids

Lots of extra balls with coach

10 players

2 defenders + 8 attackers on outside

Pair of attackers to be partners if they lose ball

Activity:

One grid plays 4v0 (no passing across grid)

If defense wins ball, they become attackers. Attacker that made mistake AND their partner (across from them) then SPRINT to other grid to play defense.

Coaching Points:

Communication - attacking team to know when defenders are coming. Defenders to know who is pressing and which way to press.

Quick transitions - as soon as ball is lost, switch mentality.

Pressing shape - make play predictable for other defender.

Progressions:

Add in a neutral to be CM and play 5v2
