Drawing in the defender - 3 vs 2

Player 1 dribbles around their cone whilst player 2 sprints around their cone. Player 1 deliberately dribbles towards defender 1 in an attempt to draw the defender towards them. Meanwhile player 2 runs forward, looking to draw the defender away from player 3. Depending on which player defender 2 marks player 1 should pick out the unmarked player. This player should then shoot on the turn at goal.

Steal the ball

This is a game which requires two teams of 4 (in the diagram two games are being played simultaneously). Two teams of three play inside the area, with one player from each team on the outside. The teams inside should pass around so that everybody inside the area touches the ball at least once. Once everyone on a team has touched the ball they should then try to pass to the player outside the area. If they do this they score 1 point. If they receive the return pass from the player they receive another 1 point.
