Place a circle of cones at least 10m distance from a single stump in the centre. With two teams (1 or more per team) and one ball start with the first player throwing at the stump with lead player in the second team backing up and returning throw at the stump. The first players will go to the back of the line in each team and the drill continues. If the ball hits the stump and deflects away the entire team need to rotate towards the deflected ball whilst the lead player collects the ball and trues to hit the stump. Team 1 will by this stage have rotated to back up the ball
Make sure the players stay outside the circle. Play for 5 minutes and see which team hit the stump the most to win.
