5v2 Double Rondo

Keep possession under pressure and reward playing through the defenders — improving support angles and the splitting pass.

Five attackers around (and one inside) a square with two defenders. A point is scored for a pass split between the two defenders.

1. Five keep the ball against two; the central player offers a line-breaking option.
2. Score a point for any pass played between the two defenders to a team-mate.
3. Defenders who win it or force it out swap with the player at fault.
4. Count splits, not just passes, to bias the right behaviour.

• Create an angle so the central player is always an option.
• Disguise the split — eyes up, then thread it.
• Receive on the half-turn inside to keep it alive.
• Defenders: stay connected to deny the split.

• The transfer pass between grids is forced through traffic — earn the transfer by moving the defenders first.
• Players in the inactive grid switch off — they should be re-shaping to receive before the transfer comes.
• Defenders jog between grids — the chase is their conditioning; demand it.

• Two-touch maximum.
• Two points for a split that leads to another split.
• Shrink the area.

• Unlimited touches.
• Bigger area.
• One defender.

• Points only from a pass split between the two defenders.
