How it's set up
This practice is is focused on developing possession in a 4 v 1 Rondo in a small 7 or 8 yard square, depending on player age and ability. The objective is to keep possession in one half of the grid before transferring through 1 of 2 gates to the player waiting at the opposite end. A passing player now becomes a pressing player, with the pressing player becoming a player in possession. We can progress by limiting gates that can be passed through, unless certain triggers occur. i.e. one touch set to play through.
