Rondo: Classic

Set up

Field

Mark a 12x12 grid.

Players

6 or more players. Put two defenders inside the area. Space the remaining players evenly around the outside of the grid.

How it runs

1. 1.Start with an outside player passing to any teammate positioned around the perimeter.
2. 2.The outside group keeps possession and tries to prevent the defenders from winning the ball.
3. 3.The defenders work to close passing lanes and regain possession.

After each rep

When possession is lost because of a defender, a poor pass, or a poor touch, the player responsible for the turnover switches with one of the defenders. Make that role change quickly so the rondo restarts with very little interruption.
