How to play:
Team A has a ball and play keepaway from team B. Team A earns a point for every four to 10 consecutive passes they can make without a player from team B getting a touch on the ball (the younger the players, the less passes they have to complete to get a point).
Team B has two balls. As well as trying to intercept passes made by team A, they try to throw one of their balls so that it hits team A's ball.
If they succeed, the teams swap possession.
Rules
- Players in team B who have the ball in their hands can only take three steps. This encourages the team to throw the ball around quickly and try to get close to team A's ball.
- Players in team B who don't have the ball can move freely.
