4 red players load the first four cones on the tree.
Players with the ball start at one end of the court and pass the ball to the next player on the cone, after the player has received the ball they pass it on again and follow their pass and stand on the cone.
When the players reach the other end of the court they wait with their ball until all the balls are at this end and then the practice can start again but in reverse.
This practice can be done with lots more players than shown in the animation. You can start the practice with a player on each cone without a ball.
Progression:
Move the ball using a variety of passes, including a chest pass, one-handed pass, bounce pass and the lob pass.
