Player 1 starts by running with the ball to the right hand cone, keeping the ball in contact with the stick, before passing the ball to the next player (Red Player 1).
When the red number 1 receives the ball they mirror the move coming from either direction.
After the pass the players join the opposite queue.
Stick and ball must stay in contact until the pass. Keep a high left elbow to allow a more upright stick. Arms away from the body, keeping the ball away from the feet when running with the ball.
