Create a diamond shape with 4 cones
Two players will work and will set up one on the back cone and one on the front cone
The two players will work together and read off each other to balance the diamond
As RED drives back (1), BLUE drives forward (1)
If RED moves latterally (2) BLUE may drive up (2)
The drill is continous and the players should work for a set time
Ensure the players movement is short and sharp
The workers should focus on their angles - having a small footbase and turning their hips quickly
The back player should read off the front player. When the players are latteral one player must be dominant and make a drive
The diamond should always be balanced
in more ways than one
