Possession Rondo — 8v4 High Tempo

Three groups of 12, each running 8v4. Outer 8 keep the ball against 4 inside. If defenders win it, the two who touched last swap in. Target: 12 consecutive passes. Rotate groups so everyone gets both roles across the session.

• Scan before receiving — the player who sees the field wins the rondo
• Body shape: half-turned, show yourself as an option before the ball leaves the passer's foot
• Silva and Donnelly: technique under pressure here — this is where your distribution weakness gets addressed, not in a match

• Add a directional rule: every 4th pass must be a long diagonal across the grid
• Outer players limited to two touches; inside defenders can tackle or intercept to earn back their place
