The 5-Minute Football Coach #34
4+2v2 drill, Introduction to rondos, Dick Bate
Here are your highlights for this week:
Practice of the week
A really good rondo, which isn’t just about possession, but hitting the middle player(s) with splitting passes.
Topic of the week
Talking of rondos: why are they such good practices, and which coaching points can help us coach about? Jonas Munkvold recently shared a nice introduction to rondos, covering all of this in some detail. Well worth a read.
