Playing Out From The Back - Positional Rondo
Blue RB + LB must stay wide in the channels, and are conditioned to 2 touches.
Blues must play into B8 in the end zone to score.
Reds can go anywhere, and steal the ball to score a goal.
So many red herrings in here.
- The best coaches are curious and constantly strive to improve.
- Courses provide great learning environments.
- Mentors, assessment, evaluation are key to self-improvement.
- Licenses provide a baseline standard.
Across the River | An exercise that can work on many different aspects of the game:
Switching play
Playing out from the back
Building through the thirds
High press
And lots of technical aspects too. It's all about which constraints you use.

While studying in Spain, we looked in depth at Spanish football, and learned about the setup in Belgium. I began writing some ramblings and churned out a blog post that makes comparisons between England, Spain, Belgium, USA youth football.

- Analysis
- Sport psych
- Philosophy
- Playing style

- Recruitment policy
They took us in and they showed us how an elite club operates. The smallest city to win the European Cup.
Rondo Inside a Rondo
4v2 (6v4)
Blues keep the ball from Red in a 4v2.
When Reds win the ball it becomes a 6v4, with two Reds staying in the inside box.
Works on keeping possession in tight areas, and reacting to transitions under pressure.
@GPeacock8
How does a physical difference mean that someone can't assess and explain what they are seeing? Strength and speed aren't difficult concepts to grasp.
Positional Rondo for Switching Play
Wide rectangle area.
Wingers and CBs stay in wide areas.
Blues wingers and CBs only pass to Blues.
Blues play the ball to R6 to score.
Reds play the ball to B4 or B5 to score.

Run Around Cone Rondo
Each time the attacker makes a pass, they sprint around the nearest cone, placed just outside the square.
This kind of rondo creates chaos, challenging players off the ball to move and make angles, and players on the ball to protect until help arrives.

@Teamgrassroots_
Good decision. It's about safety. Small shin pads do not cover enough of the leg to offer any real protection. A minimum size should be mandated by the governing bodies.
Rondo Races
Small groups with a ball per group race from one end to the other.
Remember to make adjustments and use conditions specific to your group. One touch? Two touch? Players pass in sequence or randomly? Holding hands within groups?
4v2 Rondo to Small Goals
Attacking team keeps the ball and tries to pass through the central goal.
Defending team steals the ball and dribbles forward over the end line.
Good exercise for keeping possession, pressing in pairs, forward passes, reacting to transitions.
Career wise, the license you have opens up certain opportunities. It's a standard metric clubs and organisations use as a way to guarantee a certain quality. Doesn't mean a coach of a higher license is better. Simply proves that a governing body deems them capable of XYZ.
Licences don't guarantee great coaching. But they do lead to full-time & higher level jobs. Spending more time working with better coaches & players. Learning & networking with top course tutors & ex-pros.
Learning happens on the job but licenses are key to progress your career!

Turn your shooting game into a competition. Three teams, with one team defending both goals. Use a time limit or a ball limit. Can the reds score more goals than the blues? Can the yellows keep them out and score more when it's their time?

4v2 rondo split into two 2v1s.
Defenders steal the ball and score in the min goal to switch out.
Attackers can be awarded points for pass target or split passes.
We're making rondo/possession game videos. The YT playlist is here:
PSV Eindhoven 6v2 Rondo
We all do the same drills. The magic is not in the exercises.
- Quality players v quality players
- Lots of coaches = more observation and feedback
- Quality coaches
- Tight spaces
- Ball back into play quickly
- Clear team and individual objectives

Try this rondo. Have your attackers in pairs, holding hands. Your defenders hunt the ball in a pair, also holding hands.
The defenders have to steal the ball and break out of the square.
Set the attackers a pass target.
Challenge them to play one touch.
#SundayShare
Balls in the middle. Players to run out one at a time to retrieve balls from centre, bring them back to their box. Once the ball is in the box, the next player goes. When all balls are collected, players can steal balls from other boxes. Team with most balls wins.

Have you tried splitting your rondo in two? Turn it into two 3v1 games, with the attackers passing across the middle. Defenders must steal and escape, while the attackers have a pass target to achieve.

Happy to see the thesaurus toilet later is having a profound effect on your vocabulary. Unfortunately, it's done nothing to affect your misogyny. A person's ability to opine on football is not determined by their gender. You're a public figure. Please do better.
Where do we start?
The first thing is culture. American girls don't have a sense of play. Playing soccer to them is a chore. Coach-lead, adult-centred environments. Spain has those too, of course, however socio-demographics are important.
