Player 1 passes the ball to player 2.
Player 2 turns away from the cone, and passes the ball into space for player 3 to run onto.
Player 3 now passes the ball to player 1, who has made a run around the outside of player 2.
Player 1 takes the ball into the circle and shoots.
Receiving players should be calling for the pass (get your players talking, even when training so they bring good habits to their next match).
After players have completed one run-through they move to the next position (player 1 moves to where player 2 was...)
Safety: Ensure players run around the outside to avoid anyone being hit by another ball.
