Warm up drill for passing and moving. Create a circle of cones, leaving at least 2 cones free with no players on. The objective is for the players on the outside to pass the ball into a vacant cone on every pass. The players on the outside must shuffle to receive the ball at the vacant cone. It must be either player who is next to that cone. A player in the middle will try to intercept the ball along the way. Start the drill without the player in the middle.
