Two players stand at each of the far end cones with a ball at their feet.
The third man will simply run in between the two middle cones and give a one touch pass back to the feeder before running to receive a pass from the other feeder.
Timing is key as the middle man must only pass the ball once he/she arrives at the cone near the feeder.
Distance from the feeders can vary depending on the level of players.

With more advanced players, the feeders can throw the ball in the air demanding a side footed volley pass.
