possession, passing, first_touch · U9+
Rondo (e.g., 4v2) with two neutrals who always play with the team in possession. Neutrals move along the edges of the area and provide extra passing options. 1–2 touch limit for outside players, neutrals have free touches. Defenders try to win the ball — the last passer swaps into the middle.
The neutral always creates an overload — but it must be exploited. Outside players play quickly and seek the most open passing lane. Creating and exploiting overloads.
Neutrals: are you always in line with the ball? Outside players: do you play to the neutral or to another outside player — which is the right choice? Defenders: who covers the neutral?
