In this one we set the cones out so the players play a infield pass followed by a pass to the wing who has to run down the wing around the cone to cross the ball to the forward who should try to score with a first time shot.
Each player pass and follows their own pass to the next station.
Easiest way to get the players to learn the pattern and exercise is to get the players to run the ball to the next cone and give the ball to the next player before the players pass and follow.
