My son’s club team uses something very similar to this and i believe it has helped them tremendously in terms of maintaining team shape, ball distribution, etc., support, finding the center mid, etc.
I have modified the double rondo a bit. We start 4 v 1 +3, after team a has completed 5 passes, team b can send a second defender into the possession game to make it 4 v 2 +2. The game repeats and if the team a is able to complete 5 more passes then the team b can run another defender in. If there is a turnover then the ball is played to the opposing grid where team b possession game begins 4 v 1. In theory this would progress until a team was able to hold the ball beyond 5 passes 4 v4 in a 10 x 10 box. My U11’s have only made it to 4 v 3 thus far.
Eric, for reference, did your original 7v3 a rondo have 5 perimeter players + 2 midfielders vs 3 defenders? I’m trying to understand your progression.
Hi DK-
I used 6 perimeter players but with 4 on the wide side of the rectangle and a single player on the shorter side to simulate looking for the target player (reminder we switched to a 4-2-3-1 due to the players we have) and a single mid. We then added the 2nd mid with the rule that only one can be in an area at a time. Our outside mids have to really run and rondo up
