Two triangles of cones set each side of the penalty area as shown, with players split into two groups, one behind each cone on the corner of the box.
Three players set for the middle three cones.
One side at a time, sets the first passer who plays a through ball into the attacker at the middle cone to take a touch and shoot.
Once they have shot, the player collects their ball and moves to the next side. The two players who passed the ball move to the next possisions.
This rotates until everyone has at least two turns.
Vary the distance betweens the cones.
Vary the type of set and pass.
Call out a shot type when the ball is set.
Split into teams (using bibs) and keep score.
Add a defender to pressure the shooter or passers.
