Double Rondo
Training session time:
15 minutes
Question:
Do you remember the previous drill, the rondo? Can anyone explain the details behind that drill?
This is a progression from that drill and there are similarities
Theme:
Switching play & transition
Less possession but more intensity and speed of pass (transition based)
Objective
For the players to warm up in through a high intensity possession based skill with players developing technical aspects used in a high pressure game situation
Description:
The double rondo requires players to position themselves in two rectangles, and then a further overload player in the centre against 2 pressuring players in the middle. After the ball is switched, the 2 pressuring players join the outer rectangle and the 2 central outer players (red) become the pressuring players within the opposite space. This is a more complex skill related exercise that explores themes that occur within a match (transition and playmaking etc)
Variation
Coaches can vary number of passes required before switch occurs
Technical:
First touch, passing, awarness, contolling ball with furthest foot away from opponent
Phycological:
Decision making, confidence in tight situations, understanding
Social:
Communication, self esteem, teamwork
Physical:
Co- ordination, conditioning, challenge
