Set 2 cones up so that they are square to each other and separated across the top of the circle as shown in the diagram. Now with all the players lined up behind the cone on the left and one person behind the cone on the right, player 1 retrieves a ball from the pile and passes it to player 2. Player 2 then runs the ball into the circle and takes a shot at goal. Player 1 follows his pass and the second person in the 1st line will grab a ball and pass to player 1 and he will do the same thing as player 2 and take a shot. After taking a shot the players must run back to the end of the line and wait for the next turn. Continue to do this for 10 minutes.
