Split group in two groups. Set-up the same game for both groups.
In Each group have 2 players with no ball who are the bandits. The rest of the players are dribbling around with a ball. The bandits are trying to steal the ball from any player and then dribble it through a goal. If they successfully dribble through the goal then the players switch and the player who lost the ball is now a bandit.
Every minute or so pause the group and have them leave the balls and do a movement (10 hops, skip around square, run around spuare as fast as you can, etc...). Switch bandits after movement to ensure everyone is getting a chance to do both.
Options:
1) Have multiple goals to dribble through.
2) Have one goal in the centre.
