▦Session blocks

1

6v2 rondo

12 min

6 outer players, 2 defenders in a 12x12 square. One-touch for outer players after the first 3 minutes. Coach focuses exclusively on body shape before receipt — are players already facing the next pass?

2

Possession in thirds

12 min

Two teams, 3v3+1 neutral on each team. Must reach the opposite end zone by keeping possession. No dribbling allowed — passes only. Compact, intense, high-decision.

3

Free 5v5 end on high

6 min

Standard 5v5. No rules. Finish the technical session on competitive energy.

◆What you'll need from yourself

One-touch quality from the rondo carries into the conditioned game. Don't let players revert to two touches without challenge.

!Common problems

Players making excuses for loose passes — 'he didn't call for it.' The receiver's job is to call; the passer's job is to scan and find them. Both accountable.
