Rondo: Corner Support

Set up

Field

Create a 15x15 yard area with a small triangular support zone in each corner.

Players

9 or more players. Use 9 players: two teams of 4 plus 1 neutral. Set the roles so each four-player team has two players in diagonal corners and two inside the grid, while the neutral moves freely inside and always supports the team in possession.

How it runs

1. 1.The coach starts the game by passing to one of the teams inside the grid.
2. 2.The possession team keeps the ball by combining with its two corner teammates and the neutral player.
3. 3.Corner players stay in their zones and return the ball quickly to teammates inside.
4. 4.The defending team presses to win possession and then immediately becomes the attacking team.
5. 5.When the ball changes teams, the neutral and the corner support players adjust to the new possession side.
6. 6.Play 3-5 minute rounds with an emphasis on movement, passing, and quick transition.

After each rep

Rotate the corner roles after each round.
