5 vs 5 game (can be played with or without goals).
Game 1:
Possession keeping game where all passing is with the hands by throwing and catching. Teams score a point for every 10 passes they make without losing the ball.
Game 2:
Alternatively you can play this game with goals. All passes must be made with the hands (players can't run with the ball in hand) and players can only score with a header.
Game starts with a centre throw. Offside rule applies in game 1.
The fact that the ball carrier cannot run with the ball in hand means the other players will all need to move a lot to create space.
The opposition team can intercept the pass or collect loose balls but can't tackle a player with the ball in the hand.
