3. Player1 dribbles to left of cone B, drags right of cone B, then without turning round, plays a no-look pass back to Player2, who returns the pass. Player1 dribbles to cone C, turns, does a double drag R>L then L>R behind cone C, and passes back to Player2 at cone A. Player2 does the same with Player3.
