I just wanted to give due credit form where I found it. Kev, I wish I could translate, but I do not know Spanish. If time permits though, I will give it a shot - that is a nice idea to translate this into English. On the same note - is there anyone on this forum who can help out with this?

Registered: Posts: 144 Posted Thank you for posting these.I have them but I haven't looked at them in a while. I think looking at plans like this are good, but in my personal experience I find once I come full circle I see that really I found nothing that wasn't already there to be looked at.You don't learn as much as you think you will by going to a pro club. So I tend to not take as from them these days.In general in this pack there are simple drills you can use and adapt to most abilities, and in fact it's nothing you wont find in any good dutch coaching book. There's a mixture of conditioning, sprint work combined with triangle passing drills and positional games.

There also some high touch small rondo games. In all a very simple way of setting up training compared to some other 'pro' session plans I've seen. Registered: Posts: 7,948 Posted We had a guy who graduated form our school who went on to play in the MLS. When he came back he told the guys that they did the same drills at the pro level, they were just a lot faster, with better technique. Went to see ManU play in Houston, and watched their warm up. Pretty similar to what we do, but once again, faster with better technique.

A lot better technique. __________________ 'When you start, you may have to move tons of dirt to find a gold nugget. But when you start mining for gold, you overlook the dirt.' -Andrew Carnegie. Registered: Posts: 5,458 Posted Kev, we have had this video before. I don't think this is a good session because the kids are not at the right level to play it (I would take it back a notch and teach them readiness, how to move and a lot more comfort moves with the ball before doing the Rondo stuff.

Why would you want young kids to play 1 touch first? They need to be comfortable with the ball at the feet and should be able to pass or dribble not be thinking only to pass.

Timing and reading the defenders movements should be stressed at this time, with the relevant skills being stressed. I also think he doesn't teach them anything (not sure he can see all the faults?). Rondo's are the middle bit of possession but the players can only get the most out of them if they develop the above mentioned skills first and they are progressed onto execution parts of the game (otherwise there is a danger of possession for possessions sake). Registered: Posts: 5,458 Posted I also do not like the progression to 3v2 and 4v3 cos it is a different topic. I would go: 1. Rondos at two ends of the pitch v 1 defender.
