Pressure Passing Rondos

Improve technical proficiency under physical pressure and develop a faster speed of thought.

Create a 12x12 yard grid using cones. Place 4-5 offensive players on the perimeter and 2 defenders in the center.

1) Offensive players attempt to keep possession using limited touches. 2) Two defenders press aggressively to intercept or touch the ball. 3) If a defender wins the ball, they swap with the attacker who made the error. 4) Aim for 10 consecutive passes for a 'point'.

Encourage players to look for 'split passes' that go directly between the two defenders to break the press.
