4v2 Rondo | Possession Work Across Multiple Grids

Overview

• Built for teams U11 and up who already have the basics of keeping the ball
• Works best when you’ve got 10 or more players in the group
• Great when you want a lot of players getting touches and working the ball at the same time in a tight space

Objectives

• Build the habit of getting support around the player on the ball
• Sharpen accurate passing in tight spaces
• Speed up decisions and passes under pressure
• Train the mental switch to attack the moment they win the ball back

Setup

Take a 30 x 15 field, split it into four grids, and run a rondo in each one with four players against two.

1）Divide the field into four areas (roughly 15 x 7.5 each).

2）Put six players in each grid — four attacking (keeping the ball) and two defending.

3）The attackers move the ball, aiming to string together at least three passes.

4）The two defenders stay on the attackers, pressing constantly to win the ball.

5）The moment the defenders win it, they become the attackers and the roles flip.

6）Run all the grids at once, and make one set about five minutes.
