POSITIONAL RONDOS IN FORMATION
RONDO is generally used to help teach players good habits and movements while in POSSESSION.
Players set-up in specific FORMATION with aspects to age level. Players in FORMATION must stay on
their marker while PASSING the ball around trying to keep away from DEFENDER press. DEFENDERS
are free to move. Players in POSSESSION move the ball creating overloads, i.e., 2v1’s - 4v2’s

Progressions:
- Change FORMATIONS.
- Gradually add more DEFENDERS
- Add multiple balls to raise player awareness.

Possession Activities

Why Possession or Rondo?


"Everything that goes on in a match, except shooting, you
can do in a rondo. The competitive aspect, fighting to make
space, what to do when in possession and what to do when
you haven’t got the ball, how to play ‘one touch’ soccer,
how to counteract the tight marking and how to win the ball
back.” - Johan Cruyff

Benefits:
- Team Collaboration and Positional Play
- Technical Abilities - Directional First Touch, One Touch
Play, Decision Making, and Creativity
- Tactical Pressure, Speed of Play, and Conditioning

Terms to consider:
- First Touch - Ability of player to self-pass
- Angles - Ability of player to create space to receive pass
- 1 Touch Pass - Ability to pass ball first time
