Set cones around center circle or 15mtr diam circle. Spread players around the outside with two in the middle.
Players in middle are defenders.
Players on outside pass ball around with players in middle trying to intercept. If defender intercepts, passing player swaps with defender.
Players must pass across circle, not to a player next to them.
Encourage fast, accurate passes.
Variation
Get players to call out who the are going to pass to.
Have players jog/dribble ball around circle.
