Set-up
Two teams of five. Keep possession — a team scores a point for ten consecutive passes. Spare balls around the edge so the coach can pop one in and keep it flowing when the ball goes out.
Coaching points
- Find the free player — there's always one if you look
- Support the ball carrier on both sides; one option is a trap
- Win it back immediately when you lose it — don't switch off
Progressions
- Reduce to eight passes for a point — quicker tempo
- Add two neutral players who always play with the team in possession
