MARCO ROSE, RONDO PRESSURE

🧩 1. Exercise description

Conditioned exercise of pressure and physical effort in a reduced space, by means of a mobile round-robin between teams, with situations of numerical inferiority (5×1). Intensity in short efforts, pressure after loss and decision making under fatigue are trained.

🗺 2. Organization and development

• Two teams of 5 players.

• Two work spaces are set up where a 5×1 round-robin game is played simultaneously in each one.

• Development:

  • If the team in possession makes a pre-established sequence of passes (for example, 10), the player who was pressing leaves and another player from his team enters.

  • If the pressing player touches the ball or the opponent loses the ball, the roles are changed:

    • The player who lost the ball or was intercepted passes to press in the other round.

    • The player who was pressing joins his team' s possession in the other space.

• The exercise is continuous, with constant transitions.

🎯 4. Tips or main aspects

• Demand maximum intensity in every pressing effort.

• Speed and technical quality in ball circulation.

• Coordination between physical effort and mental concentration.

• Encourage communication and group cohesion in the management of rotations.

🔄 3. Variants

• Change the number of passes required for rotation.

• Reduce space to increase physical demands.

• Introduce neutral wild cards that rotate as well.

• Include a scoring system to promote competitiveness.
