HOW TO SET UP

Scatter the cones around the playing area.

Place Auskickers into pairs.

Give one player in each pair a football and have the pairs stand on the edge of the playing area.

In AFL Training Session cones are placing around the area and give the Auskicker a pair of football to play in square area.

STEP 1

When you say "go", player one turns towards a cone with player two following a few steps behind carrying the football.

Once player one reaches the cone, they turn and receive a handball from player two.

Then they swap roles.

Player two runs towards a new cone and player one follows ready to give a handball.

Then keep going.
