Moving Rondo

Players:
5v2 to 9v2 recommended
 
Playing Area:
10 yards x 10 yards in which players form circle.  They can go outside the grid a foot or so but the idea is to keep the circle shape and not make the circle larger.  The variations below will need two grids than four next to each other.
 
Key Points and Objectives:

Players look to complete four passes and then play their teammates into the open grid.  The group at the point all has to run into the open grid following the pass.  Players do not have to run keeping the shape of a circle.  Once they get into the next grid they can regain the shape of the circle and look to complete four passes again before sending ball into the open grid.  The players in possession can make more than four passes in the same grid but they can’t play in the open grid before four passes are completed.  You can change the number of passes and players to adjust for skill level.  This is a high energy and free flowing game of rondo that the players enjoy.
