Set up an area about 20x20 yards with four cones. Set up assorted cones and flags in the center. Players will start at each corner with a ball. The coach will create a sequence of cones and flags that the players will then have to dribble around then return to their start cone. Start with only a couple then add more cones & flags to make it more complicated. Players may not dibble around a cone that someone else is already dribbling around. They must find a different cone of that color.
Players must use vision and awareness to track down the colors in sequence. Players should be using small touched to get around each cone and keep the ball in close contact.
