Setup

This drill starts as a 4v2 rondo and flips into a 2v2 attack the moment possession is won. Both teams compete, and the whole thing sharpens their transition decisions.

１）Use half a field and split your 14 players into two groups

２）Run a 4v2 rondo inside a grid. The attacking side keeps the ball with four players

３）The two defenders either win the ball back or race the clock to see how fast they can strip it inside the rondo

４）The second the attacking side secures the ball, flip straight into a 2v2 scenario

５）The 2v2 attacking team drives at the opponent’s goal fast and looks to score

６）The whole point is transition speed and quick decisions inside the rondo
