15 min · Intermediate · 8+ players · Medium space

Description

Setup
A 25 by 25 yard square. Two teams of three, plus two neutral players in bibs of a third colour. One ball.
Play
Whoever has the ball also has the two neutrals, so it is always 5v3 for the team in possession. No goals, just keeping it.
Score
Six passes in a row is a point. The neutrals must touch it at least once in the six.
Rotate
Swap the neutrals out every three minutes, they work harder than anyone.
Harder
Two touches maximum. Or the neutrals get one touch.
Easier
Make the square bigger, or add a third neutral.
