Requirements: five players, four cones, one ball
Place cones in a square c. 10 metres on a side. Each player stands at a cone in order (player 1 at cone 1, 2 at 2 etc), except Player 5 who starts midway between cones 4 and 1, with the ball. To commence the exercise, player 1 runs towards cone 2 and player 5 passes ahead of him/her so that the pass will be received at the mid-point between the two cones. Player 5 runs to cone 1 immediately on releasing the ball. As soon as player 1 receives the ball, player 2 runs towards cone 3, and player 1 passes to him/her in a similar fashion, to be received at the midpoint between the cones, then runs on to cone 2. As soon as player 2 receives the ball, player 3 runs towards cone 4 and player 2 passes to the midpoint and runs on to cone 3, etc etc. When player 1 has returned to cone 1 this is one rotation.

Coaching points:
· Ensure players sprint out for each pass
· Pass should be to space into which receiver must run
· Watch for balance and proper use of feet on landing/push off
· Ensure good pass technique used
Progression:
· Walk through exercise at first, then gradually build up pace to full speed.
· Require varying types of pass (suggest start with chest pass, then overhead, then shoulder pass)
· Give target number of successful complete rotations at full speed, then reverse direction of players.
