Separate into even teams In CaptainBall style, it's just a race to pass the ball from the main spot to each player (sequentially) - when you get to the end the 1st player in the arc swaps into the main position and the main position player joins the line at the end. Winner is the first to finish after all players in the team have been in the middle. Change the passing type or distance between players to whatever you'd like.
Skill execution/completing the skill (as it's a competition, I suspect players might be prone to rushing passes/traps, which will increase error and actually slow the team down). Control, accuracy, speed etc. Warming up hand-eye coordination in a fun and dynamic way.
