"piggy in the middle" (squares) Explanation: Hi Lisa, In Spanish, a rondo is the training exercise where several players pass the ball around and try to aviod another player in the middle from getting it. It's a bit like the game "piggy in the middle". I found a website with an animation of the exrecise: http://www.topleague.co.uk/Squares/index.html In this case, they call it squares, but that's only because there are four players passing the ball around - if it was three they might have called it triangles (?) Ok, well this is the element in question. You could go for piggy-in-the-middle as an nformal name for it (as ronditos is) or wait and see if a native English speaker or someone living in the UK can tell you what they call it normally. Good luck, Álvaro :O) :O) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-04-04 11:32:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On this page you'll find examples of dirrefent 'rondos' - as you'll see there are variations, but the essence is the same in all of them (exercises 17, 134 and 135): http://www.escoladefutbol.com/beto/docs/150ejtec/150ejtec.ht... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-04-04 11:44:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Term piggy in the middle used here by David Games (international goalkeeper) in an article in The Guardian: "But United always had that competitive edge. You could see it even in a simple game of piggy in the middle on the training field. It stood out a mile. United don't want to get beaten by anyone, ever.

Sorry!! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-04-04 11:45:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- aka Calamity James by the way... |

peer agreement (net): +2Keep ball Explanation: Maybe the points should go to Alvaro here as I am just going off his definition. If it is refering to the 'piggy in the middle' football drill this is definately called 'keep ball'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-04-04 11:53:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I reckon piggy in the middle would be OK too as the contect seems pretty informal- However the formal name is keep ball. Ha ha, Alvaro.... 'Calamity James', a couple of years ago when I was lived in Spain and I mentioned that I was a Manchester City fan that is what everybody said to me. I couldn't believe that his 'cursed' nickname had travelled overseas! |
