CIRCLE RONDO SOCCER DRILL
This circle rondo soccer drill is a great warm-up drill before a game, or a drill for your practice session.
Drill setup- Using cones, create a circle about 10 yards in diameter.
- Position two defenders inside the circle.
- Position the remaining players evenly spaced around the outside of the circle.
- The players outside the circle start with a pass to any of the players on the outside of the circle.
- The outside players attempt to maintain possession without letting the defensive players win the ball.
- The defensive players move around the inside of the circle to cut off passing lanes and win possession of the ball.
- If possession is lost, whether to a defensive player, a bad pass, or a bad touch, the player making the mistake switches roles with one of the defenders.
- Players switch roles quickly to keep the flow of the game moving.
- Limit the defensive side to 1 player for a lower skill level.
- Shrink the playing area for more skilled players.
- Limit touches to 1-touch.

- Players should think ahead of the play and be ready to play immediately.
