3v1 support rondo

U10–U11 Possession and rondos Passing and receiving

Three attackers keep the ball from one defender in a 10×10 m box, always supporting on the sides next to the ball carrier.

3v1 support rondo in 10×10 m boxes: the ball carrier always needs two team-mates on the sides of the square next to them, never on the opposite side. After each pass, the player now on the opposite side moves to a side next to the new ball carrier, as shown in both boxes.

Rules

Attackers move along the sides of the square
Defender changes after six passes in a row or a regain
Support players stand on the sides adjacent to the ball carrier, never opposite
1 min rest; everyone defends at least twice

To make it easier

12×12 m box
Minimum two touches to give time to look

To make it harder

4v2 in 12×12 m
One-touch passes count double

Coaching points
