Book Description: This book is for all levels of grassroots soccer coaches, parents and volunteers.
What are soccer Rondos? Rondo's are small sided drills that improve players technique, touch, movement and awareness in tight areas.
This book will show you the importance of the rondo and gives you rondos that you can implement straight away into your sessions. They should be incorporated into EVERY training session that you run.
A player can touch the ball twenty to forty times in a 5 minute rondo. Plus they are meaningful touches that require players to adjust and pass the ball as if they were in a game scenario. Compared to if it was a basic, static passing drill, players may only touch the ball 5-10 times and it isn't a realistic, pressure environment.
After the warm up, get the players straight into a rondo. You will see their enjoyment and engagement improve almost instantly and it sets the standard for the rest of the session.
