Split into two teams of 6 - team blue and red - with one player acting as the 7th player for both teams (wearing a different coloured bib, or a specific shirt colour).
Set up a large box using the baseline and the 23m line, and set up cones about 10-15m from the side line.
Team blue will try and pass the ball to each other inside the box while the red team tries to get the ball off them. The blue team can use the 7th man (in green) as an additional player. When Red either gets the ball or Blue loses the ball outside the box, it is a turn over. Now Red tries to keep possession, and the 7th man now is a player on the Red tea,.
