Players are split into teams. Each team member will take turns dribbling into the middle area and flipping one of their coloured cones from its original 'dome' shape over to its 'dish' shape. First team to flip all of their's wins. Progression will be that instead of flippin one of their own cones, players can flip another team's cone back to its original state. Sabotaging the other team's progress. 10 minutes needed for this activity.
- Emphasis on small, close touches on approach to the middle area so it's quick to change your cone.
