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 .

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
