Two Team Color Coded Rondo

Players:
4v2 to 9v2

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. This exercise requires two grids with 5-10 yards separation. You can set-up grids side-by-side or diagonally from one another.

Key Points and Objectives:

One grid will be playing 8v2 for example. The other grid will be passing the ball in circle with no defenders. Every player in the game has a partner. Partners wear the same color bib/vest. You can do five or six colors and even repeat some colors. If the defenders win the ball the person who gave the ball away and his partner must run to the other grid and be the defenders. This is very challenging because defenders may be running from behind you into the circle looking to steal the ball.

Players must be scanning and always looking around to see where the pressure may be coming from. The energy and intensity levels in this version are always very good. Players do not want to let their partners down or stay in the middle pressuring the ball that long.
