Who It’s For
- Attackers: players who need to pressure several defenders at once and create the moment to win the ball
- Defenders: players who want to sharpen their reads and teamwork under pressure
- All ages: works for U12 and up with the difficulty dialed in (players need a pressing mindset)
Objectives
Objectives
- Attacking: build a two-man rhythm to win the ball, then read the game and get to the next area fast

- Overall: flip the switch from attack to defense in an instant and hold your focus across multiple moments
Setup
Setup & How to Run
This is a 12-player drill run in stages across three areas.
1）Set up the main rondo (the big area) with 2 attackers and 4 defenders
2）Add two side areas (small grids) on the left and right, each with 1 defender
3）The 2 attackers work to win the ball off the 4 defenders in the main rondo
4）The second they win it, they move straight into a side area and win the ball back off the defender there
5）Get it back to the main rondo and you’ve scored a rep. Then swap attackers and defenders
