as players arrive for training and numbers grow get players into a basic rondo. 5v2 preferable. I set up three spaces for this as we were expecting large numbers. One and two touch. Player that makes mistake goes in to defend and the person on their right.

team passing tennis
teams try to pass the ball across the other teams back line for points.
balls must be passed withe inside of the foot and on the ground.
teams must complete 3 passes in their own zone before playing across.
if the passing team plays the ball out of bounds its a point for the receiving team.
if the receiving team mishandles the ball out of bounds its a point for the passing team
other variations for points
make touch restrictions (two touch, one touch)
must keep the ball alive. if you kill the ball with your touch it costs you a point.
adjust the size and distance of the grids by team size and ability level.

4v2 zone to zone. one group plays 4v2 until they break pressure and can play into the other zone. then the 6 moves over to the other zone to make up the numbers. In the example above the play goes from 4/5 to 2/3 then to the 6 who plays into the other zone then moves into the other zone. Start off limiting the defenders to staying in their zones. adjust space size to increase or decrease difficulty. make touch restrictions to do the same.
here one group plays 4v2 until they break preasure and are able to play the ball into the other zone. When the ball goes into the opposite zone the 6 moves over to make up the numbers.
