5 Pass Game

Split players into 2 even teams (play 4 vs 4 up to 7 vs 7)
Mark a large grid with cones (approximately 40 yards x 30 yards)
A neutral player is placed at each end of the field.
To score a goal, a team must make 5 or more consecutive passes to teammates and then must make the 6th pass to one of the neutral players without the ball being touched by the opposition.
After 5 consecutive passes are completed, the players from that team may pass to either neutral player to score, no need to alternate between neutral players.
A player (team) does not get credit for a pass if the ball is passed back to the player
from which it came. (But they still keep possession and play continues)
Any time a team is dispossessed of the ball before completing 5 passes, the opposition starts at pass #1.
Once the neutral player receives the pass that counts as the goal he/she must pass
the ball first time (one touch pass) to the same team that scored the goal and that
team begins play again at pass #1.
