keep it under pressure

The first rondo. Three attackers on three sides of a small square, one defender inside, two touches and five passes for a point.

A 4v1 rondo where the receiver has to call a number shown by a helper before the first touch.

Four attackers on the sides of a 10x10, two defenders inside working as a pair.

The first rondo with a player in the middle. Four attackers on the sides, one inside as the link, two defenders.

Two squares side by side. Five passes earns the long pass into the other one.

A 4v1 rondo with one rule that changes everything: after you pass, you must move to a different side of the square before you can receive again.

Nobody may receive in a corner, or in a straight line with a defender.

A long, narrow rondo. Two attackers on each short end of a 16x8, two defenders inside.

4v2 on one side, 2v2 on the other. Move a player across and make it 3v2.

A rondo that rotates: leave a space so a teammate can arrive in it.

The inside player can only receive if they arrive late.

After four passes, one attacker breaks out toward goal.

A 4v2 rondo with one extra rule: when the defenders win it, they try to keep it in the square and the four have five seconds, counted out loud, to win it back.

Win the ball in the rondo and break out 4v4 to goal.

A 10x10 with one attacker on each side line and one defender inside. Attackers may slide along their own line but not leave it.
