Players are in partners and stand opposite eachother with a cone inbetween them.
The coach calls out body parts players are to touch. When coach calls out 'cone' players are to quickly grab the cone in front of them,contesting with their partner.

There could be consequences for not getting the cone first e.g. running to sideline or a lap of the court.
