Rondo — 5v2 Circle

Two groups of 7: five on outside, two in middle pressing. Outside players keep possession with one or two touches. Rotate defenders every 90 seconds. Coach watches decision-making and first touch under light pressure.

• Weight the pass — lazy ball makes the defender's job easy.
• Move after you pass; give the man on the ball two options minimum.
• Head up before it arrives — picture where the next pass goes before you touch it.

• Add a one-touch rule for the two players flanking each defender.
• Shrink the grid to 8x8 to increase pressure without raising physical load.
