2 teams of 4-6, each in a chicken coop (box). Each team sends a "fox" across to the other box, making a 4v1 rondo in each box. "Chickens" pass the "egg" between each other in their box; each "fox" gets 1 pt every time they steal the "egg". Keep playing for [1] min, then record the scores and switch foxes. Note: To steal an egg, fox just needs to touch the ball with their stick, not hit it away. Then give it back to the chickens. Variations: 2 foxes in the coop. If there are more than 4 chickens on a team, have 2 eggs (balls) to pass around. 1 player per round gets tackle immunity.
Passing/possession game, similar to a rondo/kabbadi Aimed at U8s but can be adapted to other age groups
