Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

5v3 Rondo

Keep possession 5v3 against a proper press. Circulate quickly to move the three defenders, support on angles to keep two exits open, and split them through the middle when the lane appears.

Setup & instructions

Five players on the outside of a 12x12 yard pentagon, three defenders inside. One or two touches; six passes scores a point, a split through the middle scores two. When a defender wins it or forces it out, the attacker responsible swaps with the defender who has pressed longest. It is high intensity, rotate the defenders often.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Scan before it arrives: three defenders means less time
  • One or two touches, the ball must move faster than in the 5v2
  • Support on an angle to keep two passing exits open
  • Split the middle when the lane opens, but not into a shadow
  • Move the ball to move the three, then find the gap they leave

Common mistakes

  • Too slow on the ball, letting three defenders set
  • Flat support, offering only one exit
  • Forcing the split into a covered lane
  • Heads down, no scan before receiving

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Strictly one touch
  • Shrink the pentagon to raise the pressure
  • Reward only splits through the middle to force penetration

Regressions

  • Drop to two defenders for a 5v2
  • Allow two or more touches
  • Grow the pentagon to open the lanes
