Players play a normal game of hockey with the added rule that the players are only allowed to touch the ball 2 or 3 times.
Weaker players could be allowed to touch the ball more times to give them confidence.
If players exceed the amount of touches allowed the game should be stopped and possession awarded to the other team in the position where the player had the extra touch.
Progression:
Players on the ball can not run with the ball - this will force other players on their team to move to create passing options for them.
After 5-10 minutes of playing with these rules you can open the game up to normal rules.
