Two opposing equal sides both start on the baseline of the area with 3 balls on the center line (half as many balls as there are players).
On the coach's call players sprint to try and collect the ball and claim it for their team. Once in possession of the ball players are trying to hit the opposition's cones whilst at the same time protecting their own cones.
