Kicking to support

One player starts with ball and runs to first cone, where he kicks the ball across to the other cone.

The other player must time his run to collect the ball.

He should be collecting the ball as near to full pace as he can.

Either a grubber or a chip kick can be used.

With a chip kick, the receiving player should try to catch the ball on the full.
