HOW TO HELP PLAYERS

This activity can be focused towards attacking, defending, or transitioning.

This rondo recreates a moment where one team has the ball and has to advance it, with a preference on interior passes.

The attacking team needs to manipulate the defender to create enough space to pass to the interior player.

The defending team must create an overload to increase the chance of recovering the ball.

This directional rondo could be used as an introductory activity in a training session.
