2 teams opposite each other at cones faned out like a backline. 4 players in each team. 3 balls on the ground by the first player in each team. Coach blows the whistles. Each team passes one ball at a time to the end player who grounds it. 1st team to complete all 3 balls wins. Progression - spread out the cones to make passes more difficult - 'clearing passes'. Further progression - add 4 more cones. Using just one ball, when a player passes he then sprints round to the next available cone to take the pass off the last player in the line. 1st team to get to the 8th cone wins.
