Needed? Goal, 6 Players, Balls, 6 cones
How?
BLUE: Two players start at different cone. Player with ball passes to open player, who passes it back into space down the line. Player then receives and passes it back again, to player at P-spot. Player scores.
RED: Simple pass-pass-shoot. Try forehand and backhand hits.
YELLOW: Same as BlUE but going the opposite direction. Player at the post tries to trap and flick, or direct the ball into the cage.
Advanced:
Have all passes and shits be one touch only. Increase the distance between passes and add in more speed.
