5v2 Rondo Drill with Reactive Twist

Organization

• Setup: 15x15 meter area with five players keeping possession against two defenders.

• Objective: Blue team aims to complete 10 consecutive passes to score a point.

• Transition: If the orange team intercepts the ball, they quickly counter-attack towards the mini-goals. After each attempt, roles rotate.

Key Coaching Points

1. Quick Decision-Making: Encourage players to make swift, precise decisions under pressure.

2. Awareness and Scanning: Players should constantly scan the area to anticipate the next pass and be prepared for potential interceptions.

3. Body Positioning: Emphasize receiving the ball on the half-turn, allowing for better vision and quicker transitions.

4. Transition Speed: Upon losing possession, quickly shift from offense to defense, closing down space immediately.

Progressions

1. Touch Limit: Restrict possession players to two-touch to increase speed of play.

2. Increase Pass Requirement: Raise the pass count to 15 for scoring, challenging the possession team’s control.

3. Add a Defender: Progress to 5v3 to enhance pressure and reaction times.

Questions to Ask Players

• "How can you position yourself to receive under pressure?"

• "What cues help you anticipate an interception opportunity?"

• "How quickly can you react to switch between attack and defense?"
