Build a 20x20 grid. Create three teams of three, each a different colour. The defending team (yellow) tries to win the ball while the other two teams (red and white) keep possession between themselves. If the defending team (yellow) wins the ball, the team responsible for the mistake becomes the new defenders. Any ball played out of the grid is considered a loss of possession by that group, who then become defenders.
