Players with balls at relevant cones. Other players stand behind the first cone. |

Begin in a straight line at the starting cone. The first player () runs out to the cone directly in front of them and changes direction to one of the sides. They continue up that route until they are facing the ball holder. The ball is then thrown to, who volleys the ball back to the feeder. Once they have completed the volley they turn and sprint back to the cone behind them, then continue up the course to the next cone. Once there they change direction again to run towards the next feeder. This time returns the ball to the feeder by heading it back. They then return to the centre cone again and head back up the pitch again, where they run onto a pass from the final feeder, to perform a strike at goal. Once they have completed the course they run slowly back to the start to commence it again. Overtaking can occur on the recovery stretch of the course. All the running elements of the course should be completed at full speed. Coach should ensure that the ball related elements of the course are completed to the desired standard.
Factors to influence the intensity of the session:
- Distances between cones.
- Distances between outer cones and central cones.
- Number of times the course must be completed.
