One or two teams, each in a box. Players move around, passing the ball to each other until the whistle blows. When the whistle blows, the player with the ball must run towards goal (but not leave the box) and shoot. Variation: See which team/player can score first. 2 balls per team. Team competition: first team to 5 points. To encourage players to move+pass or pass+move, spread cones in boxes. Players must move around a cone before/after passing.
