Setup
The players split into twos. One ball between two players.

One player has the ball, the second player stands behind him. The player without the ball attempts to take the ball from the player in possession. The player with the ball uses his body to protect the ball. He can only move the ball forwards and backwards using the sole of his feet. If player B wins the ball the roles are reversed.
