Great video
I coach 7 year olds with a very low technical ability and i will be using this moving forward.
Do you believe that coaches insisting on kids to pass the ball is killing creativity?
i liked the concept you started talking about rondos. Specially the fact the players have to understand their body positioning in order to receive the ball with a better angle so they dont need to cross their whole body and maybe have a bad pass, it can cost games and give counter attacks. Passing is one of the most important concepts in my opinion.
One of the best your drills ever
Coach do you know any good academy's to go to for U7, in Toronto by any chance?
So helpful, especially the actual footage from practice. Going to try to build this muscle with my U8s. Thank you!
thank you!!
1st time kid's soccer coach. You are saving my life here.
Whats your suggested rondo box size for 4v0 and 4v1?
U9 rec with varying skills
Can you do 4v0 without the mannequins? Place cones in the middle maybe?
Any parent coach looking for advice, I'd study this video. This video is gold and I'd say basic rondo's should be 30% of your every practice. Then 20% technical development – dribbling, passing, shielding games (focus on density, ie. try to get the kid as many touches as possible – how many balls can you have going at once), only 10% on positional structure (basic position responsibities/opportunities, build out, throw-ins, etc), and finally 40% on free play small sided games (2v2, 3v3, or 4v4) (develop that creativity and competitive spirit – very little coaching, let them figure it out!). You do that and your team will really developed. Will you still lose to the teams with the superstar kid(s), yes, but your team will be well on its way to developing and your players will be thriving. Great job coach Rory.
I coach a u9 we play every weekend how can i use that 4v0 drill we also practice 4 days a week
Can't wait to do some rondos tonight at practice! Thanks for all your GREAT coaching points and videos!
Thanks Coach great advice! I'm going to be proxy coach for my daughter's team this weekend, I'm going to apply this technique to our practice this evening.
Thanks coach! Your videos are a huge help. We started rondos this past fall with my U9 team and it was a flop; we were doing 4v2. You make a really good point about starting with 4 v coach, that makes so much sense. Thanks again!
I'd be interested in your 7vX positional rondos you mentioned. Is it essentially the 1-2-3-1 with 2-3 in the grid and players try to move from keeper to striker and back?
Hey Coach Rory! I'm really enjoying your content. I'm just now getting back into academy coaching after about a 10 year break. I previously coached at the u12-u14 level but I'm now coaching pre-academy -u8. I see you spend a lot of time on passing/possession and build up play which are obviously a critical part of the game, but how do you address the need to spend individual time at the younger ages on developing ball handling skills like dribbling and beating defenders 1v1. My players (and I!) find most dribbling drills to be tedious. We play sharks & minnows and the like but I can hardly fill an entire training session with it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video! How do you manage odd number of players? For example, I want to start this with my 7 year old girls so likely without a defender to start but I usually have 10-11 girls so I can’t do even groups of 4.
Love this. Looking forward to trying it when practice resumes in the spring.
Coach Rory does some good stuff.
Coach Rory!
I hope you're having a wonderful day. Nothing much but I have a 7v7 tournament league with my youth team next week, I've seen your video on 2-3-1, but my team's midfielders and attackers are weak, and their pass link is even more vulnerable. I was wondering which types of players to play on 3-2-1, for we have really amazing defenders but not as much mid-attackers.
For 10 year olds and above with some skill, another advancement in coaching is getting the kids to MOVE on their lines, like, A LOT. They tend to just stand there instead of constantly working off the ball to keep three passing options (in 4v1) consistently open. It takes a lot to convince players that there's a payoff to working off the ball at full speed! It's also quite tiring for them!
I tend to find that with my 2014s that if I do a 4v1 they just stick to a corner and don't move much. If it's 3v1 they move to support and it works really well. Should I continue with that, or is there a way to get them moving around with the 4v1?
I coach a 9U team where multiple players are new to the sport and some can barely touch/control or dribble. Most of the players just sort of punt the ball and stand there.
Is this a good use of time for skill development or should I get even more basic than rondos?
Is there any kind of rondo with me and my son only? Just practice?
My 2015s are running this right now with some success. What should I be looking for from them that tells me they are ready for an added defender? I’ve been usually the one to apply light pressure for them.
This is so helpful!!
How do you encourage your players to move to get a better angle? My players like to just stay in one place lol.
