Set out 9 hoops or cones or strips

Teams race with a ball/bib (different colours) and place them in the hoops 

On the whistle:

1. Each team gets 4 balls
2. First player on each team races out to the grid and places their ball into one of the 9 spaces.
3. They then sprint back and tag the next player.
4. First team to get 3 balls in a row wins.
5. If neither team has 3 in a row after 4 attempts the game continues.
6. Each player now moves one of their own balls each time they race out.
7. This continues until one team has 3 in a row.
