an excellent rondo to work on creating and using supporting angles, and penetrating forward. 4v2 with one defender fixed at a halfway line, progress to add a 5th offender centrally
Setup
No setup notes yet.
Instructions
One defender must stay on the halfway line but can move side to side. Other defender can defend in the half where the players are. Object is to penetrate back and forth between the two 10 by 10 boxes. Can add point per transition for offense (and point if defense recovers and dribbles out and stops the ball) Rotate two defenders every 2 mins
Progressions
- Add point for each transition from one half to the other (for offensive four)
- Add point for defenders if they can dribble out of the box and stop the ball
- Add 5th offender centrally to work on supporting angles and committing defenders
- Reduce playing size for more difficult angles/pace
Coaching Emphasis
Make triangle and move ball around to open a passing lane between the two defenders; if defenders are tight, swing ball wide; if defenders are wide, can you split and make the through ball forward? Supporting teammates should generate three passing options (defenders should only be able to threaten two of them) Fast two-touch and one-touch can maintain safe possession;
