COACHING POINTS

1. Start with three players that stand on each of the white cones that have been set in a flat triangle. These 3 players don't run they just catch and throw the ball to the players that do run.
2. Base of the triangle about 10m apart with the middle cone about 3m up from the base.
3. Have the rest of the team form two even lines about 2m apart and 5m from the triangle base.
4. Choose a line to start, then first player in that line throws the ball to the closest player (Player A) on a white cone and runs around that player and continues across to the other white cone 10m away.
5. At the same time the first player in the second line runs towards the center of the triangle.
6. The player (Player A) on the white cone catches the ball and throws it to the player from the  second line.
7. The player from the second line now throws the ball to the player at the center on the triangle (Player B) and runs around him.
8. The player at the center on the triangle (Player B) throws the ball to the player from the first line who catches the ball and throws it to the player on the last while cone (Player C) and runs around that player. They keep running and join the back of the other line.
9. The player on the last while cone (Player C) now throws the ball to player from the second line who has just run around (Player B).
10. The player from the second line now catches the ball the throws the ball to next player in line two and continues to run until they join the back of the first line.
