 1 cone on each touchline 10yd behind the midline and 1 cone on each of the
 close corners. Go - 1st 2 players pass ball at least twice and then score.
 Shot must be from outside penalty area.  If score then players return to line.
 If shot misses players must sprint, touch side cone, sprint, touch touchline
 cone, return to line.
Next: 1 of the players dribbles ball to cone close to goal line and side of
