• The teams line up opposite each other face to face.
• On the shout of GO, each team retreats a few yards and the ball is passed to the nearest attacking player.

• Players stand at equal distance away at differnt points along the grid.
• One working player runs in the middle of the channel. 
• The players on the outside pass the ball into the running player.
• The Working player must complete 2 sets of passing - 1 run off each hand. 

Start with 2 players on the centre cone, each with a ball, and facing each other.

1. On the shout "GO", they both run backwards to the first cone
2. They then side step up the grid to the second cone
3. Next players run through the slalom cones back to the start where the ball is passed to the next players
4. Next players can only go when each player has received a ball (to ensure each race is fair).

Players run in any direction in the grid trying to avoid contact by running into space. When the teacher calls stop, all players must be at least 1m from the next nearest player.

Pass the ball around your back at the same time.

Option: throw the ball in the air and catch as you run around
