Bump
Encouraging different length passes.
Players pass the ball five times at each cone set before then moving to the next.
For more advanced players:
Can be played as a competive game to encourage fast accurate passes. At the first cone pass ten times then 5 at each subsequent cone. If a player misses the trap the team goes back to the beginning and starts again. If a team on the red cone finishes their 5 passes before the team on the white cone they can bump them off and send the team back to start again. Teams reaching the end score 1 point.
