3-Team 4v2 Rondo | Grid Game

Overview

• Built for a group of 12
• U12 and up, players who can read attacking positioning
• For coaches who want to sharpen ball retention in tight spaces
• For building quick decisions with multiple defenders on you

Objectives

• Hold the ball without losing it in a tight space
• Deal with more than one defender and manage your distances
• Make quick, accurate passes under pressure
• Break out fast the moment you win the ball back

Setup

Set up a 20 x 20-yard field with two 10 x 10-yard grids side by side. Three teams of four run 4v2s in both grids at the same time, with the attackers working to keep the ball. When the defenders win it, they attack the scoring zone outside the grid, and everyone rotates through attack and defense.

1）Split into three teams of four: red, blue, and yellow

2）Red and blue attack in grids A and B, yellow defends (send one player into each grid)

3）Red and blue keep possession 4v2 — go for 10 passes in a row

4）When yellow wins it or steals it, they can attack the goal outside the grid

5）Rotate every 3 to 5 minutes so every team gets a turn on attack and defense

6）When yellow scores, move to the next rotation
