Larger-scale rondo with three lines of two players. Three defenders attempt to win the ball. Develops positional awareness, line-breaking passes, and the third-man principle.
• Two players per line, three lines (back, middle, front)
• Always pass forward or sideways — backward only when no forward option exists
• Line-breaking pass = pass that skips a line of defenders
• Receiver in the next line must already be open, body shape ready
• Defenders work as a unit — press the ball, cover the lines
Progression: defenders earn a point for every interception. Three-touch maximum, then two-touch.
Regression: 7v3 with the extra player floating between lines.
