Setup cones in a square representing bases. One player stands at each base. The catcher kicks the ball to first base, first base traps and kicks to second base, and so on until the ball is controlled by the catcher again. The runner starts running opposite of the way the ball is being kicked as soon as the first kick is made. If the runner makes it home before the ball does, the runner gets a point; otherwise the team in the outfield gets the point. Rotate so the runner is now the catcher, catcher is first base, etc. and third base gets in line to run.
This drill teaches accurate passing and trapping because if one of the players on the bases does not make an accurate pass or receive the ball appropriately, the runner will beat the ball to home.
