Preparation
Take a look at the diagram and set up accordingly. Players are split into pairs on opposite side of the cones, distance set according to ability.
Explanation
Players are expected to pass the ball with the inside of the foot, when receiving the ball they are expected to shift the ball using the outside or sole of the foot to the other side of the cone before playing the ball.
After 1 minute the red players would move up 1 space in order to have a new partner.
