To return to the starting position, the player must go through the side. (If player goes left through the ball, to return to the queue, he must, again salom in and out of the red cones. If player goes right, he must do quick feet through the ladder and join the back of the queue.) 5. The next player can go after the ball has been returned to its original position.
