Divide players into even teams (can be two or three, depending on numbers). Each team gets their own grid of cones. All of the balls are placed in middle of the playing area (might need to borrow extra balls from U4s). Players need to retrieve the balls and bring them back to their grid. Can only get the ball in their grid by passing to someone who is standing in the grid. If don`t have ball, can get it, or can try to steal from players who are dribbling. Players can also run into other team`s grid and steal the ball.
