Activity â Ball Battle Cones set up as per diagram One player from each corner zone (team) takes it in turn to run, fetch a ball and dribble it back to their collection zone. Other players wait their turn on socially distanced waiting cones Once player completes their run, they go to the rear-most waiting cone and next player runs to collect a ball. Once all balls have gone from the central area, players may run and steal balls from other collection zones but must complete the slalom on the way back. Winning team is the one with the most balls when time is up. During changeover, balls must all be returned to the central area for next round. Any cheating, earns a lap for the whole of the offending team.
