Él se mete en las pachangas y en los ronditos y si le haces un caño en plan cachondeo resulta todo más fácil para crear un buen ambiente”
This is a football player talking about his coach. 'Pachangas' I have translated as 'kick-about' - but am unsure about 'ronditos' - is it some kind of warm-up exercise?
Many thanks :)

Keep ball
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'.

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!

"piggy in the middle" (squares)
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)

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):

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. "
