Thief!

Start with four cones in a square (adjust to abilities). I use 10x10 yards for our 7-8 year old players. Get players to put six balls in the center of the square, four players, one on each of the cones. Demonstrate using players and/or another coach. You retrieve a ball and halt it at your cone (Coaching point: 'get your foot on the ball') Players have only two balls to race to, so have to decide whether to race or 'steal' another player's ball. No 'defending' your balls - all balls are fair game and the player to gain three wins. Promotes speed, agility and control, as well as requiring players to make quick decisions.
