A 5v2 rondo where the team practises switching sides. The drill has four progressive variations: 1) one or two touches, 2) two touches compulsory, 3) one touch compulsory, 4) a compulsory one-two sequence. The switch requires the team to move the ball quickly to the free side. Suited to older players (about age 15 and up). See the video for the set-up and measurements.
