Position 4 red players on the first 4 cones of the tree and 4 blue players in a queue at the base of the tree.
Like a pendulum, blue players from the queue run to the person in front of them and stop.
Like in a relay the person who was standing on the cone runs to the next cone and then stops as the person who was previously on the cone runs the next one.
Once the red players reach the top of the tree they then run all the way back to the start, sprinting along the diagonals and side-stepping along the horizontals.
Repeat this until the 4 first cones are now occupied by the queuing players and the players who were on the cones are now at the start.
This practice can be done with large groups of players .
