Arrival Rondo

Objective: Improve ability to keep possession but also find second line (miss a player) and third line (pass through defenders) passes.


Set Up - 10x10 grids with either 4 (3 v1) or 6 (4 v 2) players


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.

SP1 - Switch Play

SWITCH PLAY

  • This is a three team transitional Rondo
  • Middle team are defenders and only two can press the side with the ball at one time to win the ball
  • Team in possession must make four passes then look to SWITCH PLAY to the other side
  • When play is switched the other two defenders go across and try to win the ball
  • The team that give the ball away become the defending team

3. Players in the central area cannot leave the zone


Coaching Points


Quality of the link up play


Timing of movement into space of players off the ball - Not too early!


Create Space - Movement off the ball tends to drag defenders and creates space even if the player doesn't receive the ball


Quality of pass to break defensive lines - Weight, Direction and Vision
