This rondo is an ADD-ON to the Up-Back-Through
Rondo as detailed last week (19th November 2015)
AND weak-side full back rondo (26th November 2015)
on www.inspire.football. It is absolutely imperative
that the previous rondos are carried out before
plugging in this progression.
In this rondo the Up-Back-Through option takes
priority as option one. However, a condition has now
been added to encourage the weak-side full back
movements and/or OUT-IN-OUT movements as
detailed in this rondo.
Condition: anytime there is a clear passing line
through to a winger in the marked out zones in the
image to the left, the winger can race into this area
to receive the ball. The ball will be played OUT to the
winger, back IN to a supporting player facing
forwards and then OUT to the overlapping full back.
The objective of the rondo is the same, to go from
GK/CB to the GK/CB on the other side via one of the
two options outlined. Once the ball reaches the
other GK/CB, there must be one horizontal pass
before the objective is reset (to allow for
reorganisation).

Upon the opportunity opening itself up, the winger
with a clear line of pass is able to make his
movement into the marked out area to receive the
ball for an OUT-IN-OUT movement.
In the game, the winger who moves inside will take
with him his marking opponent and therefore
freeing up space for the full back to overlap.

When and ONLY when the winger who has dropped
into the wide receiving area can play back to a
forward facing supporting player, should the relevant
full-back overlap with pace.
If no supporting player is immediately on, then the
ball should be played back to any player and the
rondo recycles and resets.

If support is available and the option to playing OUT-
IN-OUT is available, the full back then commits to an
overlap at pace.
The ball is then played to the opposite target for the
rondo to continue and mirror itself in the opposite

The rondo is then mirrored in the opposite direction.
The players are to move as shown with the arrows.
The target player who receives the ball MUST play
one horizontal pass (to a deep full back or to his new
partner on the end line) before the team can seek
any Up-Back-Through or Weak-side Full back or OUT-
IN-OUT opportunities to get to the new target.

ABOUT RONDOS
Spain, Barcelona and Pep Guardiola have brought about a world-wide
recognition for rondos in the last decade and in most nations, our
possession box games shrunk overnight.
Unfortunately, possession box games have also become a neglected time
in our sessions, often un-coached and without many learning objectives.
The objective of the rondos presentations delivered by inspire football
coach education (UK) is to highlight potential learning opportunities in this
training methodology and format.
Kieran Smith will deliver a webinar for Inspire on rondos and give his first
hand account and insight into how ideas can be implemented through
rondos (Kieran Smith is a former AD Alcorcon coach 2014-15, who would
play fixtures against many of Spain’s biggest clubs such as Real Madrid).
I owe the foundations of my knowledge to a coach I worked alongside at
the University of Oxford (2013-14) called Jon Collins (who was writing a
PhD in Spanish training methodology at the time). Jon Collins opened my
eyes to the hundreds of details that turn rondos into a truly valuable
education tool.
Some months before beginning my work at the University of Oxford I was
fortunate enough to undertake study visits to clubs such as Barcelona,
Villarreal, Swansea, Liverpool and others. All the rondos that will be
detailed each Thursday for Inspire (www.inspire.football) have been
created with a heavy influence from those I’ve observed before.
Positional rondos, rondos that look to educate the languages of the game,
rondos that promote specific principles (overloading, penetration,
movement, the responses in transition etc) and much more will form the
majority of the theoretical content in these presentations.
My sole objective is to promote multi-directional possession box formats
(rondos) as valuable tools for player education. I do not believe that
rondos serve a purpose to imitate the playing style or the training
methodology of Spain or Barcelona.
Barcelona youth academy graduates spend around 20% of all contact hours
training in rondos (referenced in the book ‘Coaching the Tiki-Taka Style of
Play’, pg. 34). The La Masia graduates may have spent 1,000 hours in
rondos, but they’ve done so in a very specific type of rondo, specific to the
Barcelona playing style.
Please share these presentations freely and use your Thursdays
wisely! Visit www.inspire.football
