Playere lined up in a relay with 1 ball.
Player starts by running with the ball into the grid and pass the ball to the player opposite. Player 2 has to run onto the moving ball collect and keep moving to pass the ball back to the other side .for player 3 to run onto the ball.
Each player has to run to the back of the opposite side each time they have passed the ball.
