Organization:
10 x 10 grid. Two or three players at the first cone, one or two players at the other three cones. Pass the ball from player to player. Players follow their pass. When the ball is in one corner, the player in the opposite corner checks in and calls ‘pocket’ as if this player wants the ball. This player quickly drops off behind the cone to create space to receive the pass.
The player on the ball can now choose to pass the ball to the next corner or to the player calling for it in the pocket. Ball continues to move into the same direction. Make sure all players move up to the next cone, even if they did not receive the ball.
