Person 2 then runs to the next cone and passes to person 3 further down the side line who has led to receive the ball. 4. Person 3 then runs the side line and when on the cicle base line look up to pass to person 1 who has led into the circle. (The pass must be let go between the two cones otherwise will be too close to have a shot. 5. Person 1 traps the ball and has a shot at goal.
