Setup the cones as shown.

All players have a ball each.

On the whistle both teams start dribbling (anti-clockwise)around the cones. The taggers have to try and catch the other team. If they do they go back to the beginning.

Line Up:

Teams of 4-6 players with one ball. Players line up with their backs to the court and the gaps between the players are length of their hands. The first player in line has a ball. On the signal from the coach, the player with the ball hands it to the second player over the head and runs to the end of the line. The second player hands the ball to the third player under the legs and runs to the end of the line and continues over and under. The winner is the team who comes first to finish line.
Rules:
--Players cannot move their feet when they hand off the ball.
--If the ball drops to the floor, they must start again from starting point.
