One way is just play keep away. Everyone is on their own team and tries to get the ball from whoever has it. This is similar to a drill. It promotes ball skills. It also helps you become better at dribbling in traffic and avoiding defenders.

Another way to play is to split up into two teams. Put shoes, sticks, or any marker you can find three feet apart. This will create your goal. You don’t need a goalie because it is easy to defend. It is also hard to score in this game. Pass the ball around your team. Avoid your enemies. Try to get to the goal. This helps you play more contained. You will not take any long rocket shots.
