4v2 Rondo with Splits

Setup

The team plays 4v2 in the 8x8 box. Every time the attacking team splits the 2 defenders, they must stay in again. When the defenders win the ball, they switch with 2 attacking players (the one who lost the ball and the player who passed it to them).

Focus Team’s Objective

Shifting quickly to stay compact and change their defensive angles so they don’t allow a gap for the attacking team to split.

What Opponent Focuses On

Move the ball quickly and find opportunities to split the defending pair.

Key Coaching Points

• Communicating to each other.
• Shifting quickly.
• Getting pressure on the ball.

Possible Variations
