Split the group into two teams of 5.
Set up two boxes for the rondo that are appropriately sized for the age and skill of your players.
Each team selects one defender to go into the other team's box.
For each 5 passes the passing group makes in a row, they score 1 point for their team.
For each interception the defender makes they score 1 point for their team.
The groups play for 2 minutes, and tally the score and then chose a new defender.
