Set up a field that enables your players to play a 4 v 4 game with room to move (30 x 50m to start) and place "jails" in the corners - same colours on diaganols - about 3 - 5m - again dependant on your players abiliy.
Divide players into 2 teams and place 2 players from each team into their respective jails.
OBJECTIVE - to get ball into the jail.
SCORING - if player in jail can keep the ball inside their square with their first touch, the team gets a point
VARIATIONS - if the player in the jail can play the ball out the other side of the square with their first touch it's a point
If the player in the jail plays a 1/2 with a team mate - point
If the player in the jail can find a 3 team mate with their first touch - point
Player that passes into the jail, takes the place of their team mate who is released - first touch must take them outside the jail
Different body parts to take first touch -inside/outside of both feet
