2v1: Two teams lined up on either side of the court and will take it turns to attack the goal. Player 1 will start with the ball on the outside. They will pass to player 2 with a pass of their choice. Player 2 will then use their 3 steps to attack towards the defender, making space for player 1 to run on the outside and have a free shot at goal.

Once the shot has been made by player 2, player 1 and 2 will become the defender and goalkeeper. Additionally the defender and goalkeeper will join the back of the line for the next attack.
