Frequently asked questions
What is a rondo and what is it for?
A rondo is a possession game in a small space with a numerical advantage (4v1, 5v2...). It trains one-touch passing, body orientation, passing lines and counter-pressing in very little space.
How many players do I need for a small-sided game?
From 3v3 up to 7v7. Small-sided games with neutrals let you work on overloads and transitions with groups of 8 to 16 players.
