Players in pairs run along the length of one side and pass the ball from right to left on the move to the other player.
The player receiving the ball must do so with their reverse stick, before then pulling the ball round and running back to the cone they started from to pass the ball right to left back to the other player.
When receiving the ball on the reverse stick lower your body and prepare to receive the ball just in front of your right foot.
