If you're a new coach, or you're simply a coach that hasn't had the time to work on your sessions, this book will improve you immensely. The drills are aimed at senior players (but they can be adjusted for juniors aged approximately 13 years and up). I've completed coaching courses and coached senior mens teams, ladies, youth and junior teams for over 30 years. The advice and drills in this book are extremely useful and will get you up and running straight away. Here's a bit about what a Rondo is and what you should be aiming to achieve and points to coach. Make sure to read this and then jump into the Rondos and start implementing them at the start of all your sessions!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 give you 13 rondos that you can implement straight away into your sessions. They should be incorporated into EVERY training session that you run. 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.Rondos will help: Improves technique in tight areasEncourages intelligent movementImprove players passing in trianglesImprove the players press with maximum efficiencyHelp players close passing lanesImprove the players enjoyment at trainingImprove payers ability to read the intentions of the oppositionImprove the intensity of the training sessionA 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 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 wouldn't be in a realistic, pressure environment
