5v2 rondo
Five keep the ball from two defenders. Two defenders can cut passing lanes together, so attackers must split them with a pass through the middle.
Your assistant coach: turn this drill into a full session, plan the weeks around it and tell me how it went.
Set-up
- Square of 12 x 12 m.
- Five attackers around the outside (one can play inside), two defenders in the middle.
Equipment: 4 cones, 3 balls
How it works
- Attackers keep the ball. A pass that splits the two defenders scores a point.
- When a defender wins the ball, the attacker who lost it and the one who passed to them go in.
Coaching points
- Look for the split pass between the defenders.
- Support quickly: always two options for the player on the ball.
- Defenders: press together and cut one lane each.

Three players stand on the corners of a triangle and keep the ball from one defender. The first rondo for young players: every pass has one safe option and one brave one.

Four attackers keep the ball from two defenders. With two defenders, attackers must find the pass that splits them and support at angles on both sides.
See the drill โ4-3-3 midfield triangle rondo (6v3)
Four players on the outside and two inside keep the ball from three defenders. The two inside players and the passer form the 4-3-3 midfield triangle, so it trains the exact angles your number 6 and 8s use in games.
See the drill โ4-4-2 box rondo with a switch
Two 4v1 boxes linked by a switch pass. The four in each box mirror the 4-4-2 midfield line and back line, and the switch trains moving the ball from one side of the pitch to the other.
