Dynamic Rondo Battles

To enhance players' ability to press effectively and transition swiftly between defence and attack, while improving decision-making and execution under pressure in small-sided scenarios.

• Attackers • • Possession with a purpose is key. • • Think, look, and play forward. • • Move the ball. • • Switch the ball often. • • Defenders • • Press Aggressively, but with intent. Wait for a pass back or a loose touch. • • First Defender presses, and shows the player on the ball one way to make the pass predictable. • • Other defenders provide cover & immediately presses the pass. • • Attacking Transition • • Player who wins the ball is the most vulnerable. They will be pressed immediately so release the ball quickly, use the end players. • • Up-back-through motions are essential. • • Defensive Transitions • • Change of attitude to aggressive defence.
