Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Transition Rondo (Win It and Escape)

Keep the ball, and on the turnover react at once. Defenders win it and combine to dribble out for a point, the possession team counter-presses immediately to deny the escape.

Setup & instructions

Four players keep the ball around a box against two defenders. When the defenders win it, they combine and dribble the ball out of the grid for a point. The possession team counter-presses the instant it is lost to stop the escape. Emphasise good rondo possession and an explosive reaction on the turnover. Rotate the defenders after a set time.

Setup time: 1 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Support at angles, keep the ball moving
  • Defenders: win it, then find the way out fast
  • Combine to escape, do not force it alone
  • On losing it, counter-press instantly to deny the escape
  • React first: the transition moment decides it

Common mistakes

  • No reaction on the turnover, letting them escape
  • Defenders winning it but with no way out planned
  • Possession team standing off after losing it
  • Forcing the escape alone instead of combining

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Defenders must escape within a set number of seconds
  • Add gates to escape through for the point
  • One-touch for the possession team

Regressions

  • Bigger box and more time on the ball
  • Defenders only need to keep it once won
  • Three defenders to make winning it easier
