  • 1 min read

Players: 5+ | Difficulty: 1 |


Description: A mix of "Four Square" and a classic Rondo.


Application: Quick passes while making rondos more of a game!





Instructions





  1. The base of the game is a rondo. Try to keep the ball away from the defender (purple in example).

  2. Player 1 is the "King/Queen" of the game.

  3. The players start at spot 4, and will try to work their way up to spot 1 to be the "King/Queen".

  4. If a square player gets the ball stollen / kicked away by the defender, they become the defender (full rotation listed below).

  5. Players move up to the next square accordingly.

  6. OPTIONAL: The player position (1,2,3,4) can indicate the amount of touches they are allotted, making it harder to stay in the higher squares.


Rules

  • Each player must stay inside their box.

  • Passes must be "reasonable". If the pass is not reasonably receivable, the passes is at fault.


Setup


  • 4 Box grids made of cones/lines. (Size dependent on player skill)

  • A line starting behind player 4.


Rotation

  • Line - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

  • Player who messes up becomes the defender.

  • Defender goes to back of line



Coaching Points




  • Focus on quick passing and decision making.

  • Can alter the allotted touches on the ball.

  • If a player is "hiding" from a pass, they become the defender.
