Groups of 4

Player start in the bottom right corner and on the command sprint as a group before doing 5 press ups.

one of the teams has the ball and has to pass the ball along each player in the line.

The player in possession of the ball when the coach calls out go has to run around the cone at the end of the grid to try and run the full length of the grid to score a try. The player from the opposition in line with the player that is running can try to stop the player scoring by running around the cone and tagging the runner before they reach the line.
