Have a mannequin on the edge of the penalty circle, and another in line with it out, out at the left hand corner of the penalty box.
Players positioned on cones 1, 2 and 3 as shown in the diagram, each with a ball.
Player 1 dribbles a ball to the mannequin in front of them, feints one way then moves the ball the other way to shoot. The Player then runs back towards the next mannequin and receives the ball from Player 2. Player 2 runs up to the right of the mannequin and Player 1 lays the ball off to them to take a shot.
