Set-up
Six groups of 4 working simultaneously, each with 2 defenders in the middle. The rondo runs competitively: the two players whose mistakes lead to the most turnovers in 5 minutes become the new defenders. Loud, fun, fast — this is mood-setting for tomorrow.
Coaching points
- Touch the ball, enjoy it — confidence in possession comes from positive repetitions at pace.
- Talk to each other: call for the ball, signal your intention before you receive.
- No mistakes from poor decision-making — if the obvious pass is on, play it.
Progressions
- One-touch only to sharpen the mind without adding physical load.
- Merge two groups into an 8v2 to finish — bigger grid, looser, more joy, perfect end to a week.
