Equipment
- Cones
- Balls
Setup
- Area: 20 yard gap between two starting points, with three cones spaced 5 yards apart in a straight line between them.
- Team Red: 1 red outfield player starts on the red starting line, one of the two 20-yard-apart lines.
- Team Blue: 1 blue outfield player starts on the blue starting line, 20 yards opposite the red line, beginning in possession of the ball.
- Equipment: 3 cones placed in a straight line between the two starting points, spaced 5 yards apart, plus 1 ball starting with the blue group.
Instructions
- The player with the ball dribbles past two cones.
- They pass the ball between the second and third cone to the player in the opposite group.
