Instructions/Setup:
This rondo is designed to develop quick and intelligent switches of play in possession. The game begins with a 3v1 in one area of the grid while two additional defenders are positioned to screen the central zone. Possession players must complete a set number of passes (e.g., 5) before attempting to switch play to the opposite side.
Switches can be made in two ways—via the wide unopposed players for 1 point, or through the central zone for more points due to the difficulty and risk involved. This setup encourages decision-making, timing, and awareness of space and pressure.
Coaching Notes:
• Encourage Patience & Tempo: Players should maintain good tempo while waiting for the right moment to switch play.
• Scan for Options Constantly: Players must be scanning both wide and central options, weighing up risk versus reward on each pass.
• Reward the Risk: Reinforce the value of switching through the center by highlighting how it can break defensive structures when timed well.
• Quick Transitions Post-Switch: Encourage immediate speed and movement after a successful switch to take advantage of unbalanced defenders.
Progression 1: Limit Touches:
Restrict all players to 2 touches to increase difficulty and encourage quicker decision-making.
Focus: Improves technical sharpness and forces rapid scanning and passing decisions.
