Aim - to encourage lateral movement Work in threes. Start with a ball on every cone. The worker starts at the bucket (middle) and works laterally to each cone to retrieve the ball and bring it back to the middle. see how many retrieved in 30 seconds. once all the balls are in the middle the next worker can try to take each ball back from the middle and place it by the cones.

Two players per team, stood about 4-5 metres apart between two cones (the goal).

Both teams must try to protect their goals by stopping the opposition from throwing the ball through their goal.

Using only underarm throws players must try and score in their opponent's goal.

A goal is awarded every time their opponent either drops the ball or fails to prevent it passing between their cones.

Pairs stand 3 to 4 metres apart between a pair of cones (their goal).

By throwing the ball underarm, below waist height, players must try to get the ball through their opponent's cones.

Players score a point every time their opponent either drops the ball or fails to prevent it passing between their cones.
