Battle Rondos - Two teams of 5-6 players. Each player on both teams get's a number 1-6 (or however many players are on the team).
Play starts with both teams passing and moving inside their grid unopposed. The coach will then yell out 1-2 numbers and those corresponding players go to defend in the opponent's grid and after 30 seconds and the greatest # of passes after 30 seconds wins. After 30 seconds play resets with both teams again passing and moving unopposed in their own grid.

Rondos are a good game to improve possession principles - technical qualities of passing/receiving, angles to receive, body shape, scanning, communication, etc.
Use a variety of numbers, size and shape of grids.
4v1, 3v1, 3v2, 4v2, 5v2, 6v2, 5v3, 6v3, etc.
Encourage speed of play by having a supply of soccer balls and immediately feed a new ball in when one goes out of play.
