A rondo that leads to a finish. Start with a 4v2 rondo outside the box. On the fifth pass a deep ball is played to the striker, who is marked by a centre-back. One player from the rondo sprints forward and joins the striker, so it becomes a 2v1. The team has five seconds to score. Players practise checking their shoulder before receiving, passing with pace through the press, receiving on the back foot and staying on their forefeet. See the video for the set-up and measurements. Source: Pelota Academy / Pro Footballer Skills (YouTube).
