First step run fast, at the second cone the guy recive the ball from a pass, now walk and pull up the ball on his/her head, run from the 3 to the 4 cone, pass the ball and run away.
During this exercise the coach can see how the guy run and take the ball from a pass, if he has fear if he lose the ball etc. In the second step how the guy use his hand on the ball during the walking (it's not so easy). In the therd part of the exercise you can see how the guy pass the ball during the run.
