Rondo: Midfield Rotation

Set up

Players

9 or more players. Play 6vs3, with the two end groups of 3 combining to keep possession away from 2 Grey defenders. Ideally, each end group is made up of central midfield profiles: 2 ACMs and 1 DCM.

How it runs

1. 1.At the start, every player is restricted to an assigned zone.
2. 2.Keep every pass below shoulder height.
3. 3.Before the ball can be switched from one end group to the other, the two attacking groups must complete at least one positional rotation.
4. 4.Work for 3-4 mins, then take a 30 sec or 1 minute rest.

After each rep

When the defending team has regained possession 3 times, rotate the roles.
