Set up four cones with a player stationed at three of them. Player in the middle of the triangle has the ball and must pass, along the side of their triangle, to one of their teammates. Player who does not receive the ball runs to the vacant cone to create another triangle. Continue passing in this way, players cannot pass diagonally across the square formed by the cones.
