Over the last decade the use of the rondo has spiraled in football throughout the world. However, has the rondo been effectively understood and used by coaches? We will look to provide detail on how the rondo can be used and how coaches might not be getting the most out of their rondo practices? How many coaches observe players playing in a circle format around a ball, just aimlessly passing the ball for hours? Could the rondo be better linked to our game model and playing philosophy. Could we teach our players position specific information whilst they are exposed to the technical demands that a rondo puts on to our players. This book will look to provide that information with the inclusion of many position specific and formation specific rondos. This will give coaches individual coaching information to players, dependent on their formation. This will help create more specific and meaningful training for players, where they are actually training their game model and they will then be able to transfer the training task into games with confidence.
