Simple passing! Start with a line of blue cones and red cones, kid behind the blue cone starts with the ball. They stick with the same colour and run up to the first cone. Blue passes to red, then on to the next cone. Both continue up to the hoop at the end and then race back around the outside!
Make sure cones are not too far apart, and don't spend long on this drill. 5 min or so will give them a bit of practice.
