End of session fun game for social distance times. The coach passes the ball with varying speed to the red player, who has to kick it as far as they can first time. The blue fielders have to retrieve the ball with their feet and pass it back to the coach in the centre. The red must must run around the cones as fast as they can before the ball is back with the coach. If the coach has the ball back before the red player is on a cone, the red player is out. The red player can choose to stick on any cone to remain safe. The next red player repeats. Two players cannot be on the same cone. One point is scored for each player who makes it back to the start
