5 players all with a ball line up along a coned area.
They run out and touch the ball down halfway, leaving the ball on the ground.
The players continue to run to the end of the coned area, touch the ground with their hand, turn and run back picking the ball up on the way, and then pass to their partner.
The drill is repeated with the next set of players.
The drill can be developed by racing against each other.
Encourage dynamic running.
