Description -left-sided line attacks the space behind the three cones; right-side line with balls leads player into the space with a firm pass. Player receives ball in stride and slaloms through remaining cones. Players switch lines. Can switch origin of ball (i.e. from right-sided line to left-sided line). Coaching Points -important to break into the space, i.e. change of pace -pass must be firm and lead the player into the space; do not wait for them to be in the space before passing it -when receiving the ball, try to take a touch that opens you to the next destination (don`t just stop ball, you lose all momentum in the attack)
