Number each cone and each player on that cone must remember their number.
The coach will pass the ball in to the player in the middle and call out a series of numbers, eg: 1,3,4.
The player in the middle must receive the ball from the coach and play and receive back passes from each of those numbers in any order.

The player in the middle must turn and move to receive and pass the ball at the right time to avoid being tackled.
