HOW TO SET UP

For everyone of three, place down three cones kicking distance apart to make a triangle.

Send an Auskicker to each cone, and give one the footy.

Keep a fourth cone up your sleeve, as you'll turn the triangle into a square later on.

AFL Place the three cones in square and make the triangle. Auskickers stand in each cone and give them footy.
