MODULE 3.06 What are the different types of rondos? / A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO PREPARING FOR COMPETITION

Question 1

What are the characteristics of Initial Rondos?

Answer 1

• The use of both legs
• Sufficient Superiority
• The player is forced to constantly position him/herself
• To put into practice the interaction between players close by and far away.
• Numerical superiority.
• Constant possibilities for the possessor, due to the permanent movement of teammates

Question 2

What are the different types of rondos?

Answer 2

We usually start with a minimum number of players,

three against one. This is a good way

to insist on the player using a combination of right leg, left leg for

one touch, so we start with this type of simple rondo of three against

one or four against one, which is enough superiority and, above all,

can be played with one touch, which makes the player have to

constantly change the direction of his/her body.

Question 3

What are the 4 Bs?

Answer 3

Ball speed

Bodyshape

Backfoot recieve

Break lines

If we play in contact and we want to be efficient in our passing,

the player has to position his/her body before receiving and play

with the leg that is furthest away in order to be well positioned

with respect to the play and the passing lines in front of him/her.

Question 4

What are the impacts of Increasing the size of the rondo?

Answer 4

• We usually use two opposing players with five or a maximum of six

players on the outside. We use it to practice passing near and far, to

try and get the player to used to looking for the second line. From here,

the possibilities of the possessor must be constantly generated

by the movement of his/her teammates. If we increase the number

of players, then they might have less space.

• There are always passing lines for the possessor. If we add a seventh

or eighth player, the space the defending player has to occupy

is much larger, and we practice other types of objectives, but it’s clear that

there is less pressure on the other player and perhaps, he/she can

participate in activations with the ball, rondos that are more fun, always

remembering to focus on the objectives we are trying to practice.
