The area is 25x20. Place 2 markers 2 metres apart in the 4 corners as shown. Position 3 cones in a small slalom position on the longer sides. Players start on diagonal corners and dribble through the cones. on reaching the opposite corner play will play a long weighted pass to the opposite corner and sprint to catch the ball between the cones.
