Rondo Transitions To Passing & Fitness

Players:
For these variations it depends on how many players per group you want to use and what you are transitioning back and forth to.  Groups can be 3v1 to 10v2. 
 
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.
 
Key Points and Objectives:

The basic idea here is to get creative with the transition between rondo and another training drill that makes sense.  I like to transition from rondo to either passing patterns or fitness.  I set up the grids close together so the transition is quick.  When the Coach calls “rondo” the players engage in rondo and when “passing” or “fitness” is called the group rotates to those drills.  I like to time these, so I typically spend 3 minutes rondo and 3 minutes passing patterns or fitness.  You can design it the anyway you like.  The important part is that there is little down time in transition and players are always training focused and well.
