Have 2 equal teams and 2 goals in a 23 m area.
Players play a 7v7 game with the following rule: When a player is in possession they are not allowed to run with the ball - they can only pivot on the spot while looking for a pass.
Players have to move into space to create options for a team-mate on the ball so they can look to receive the ball.
The defending team can only intercept and put pressure on the player in possession of the ball (no closer then 2 metres).
Look for good communication, with players calling for the ball when they are in space.
