Cone Ball

Two teams stand at opposite ends of the area, each player has a ball, with a line of cones along the middle. Standing at a distance from the cones (increase/ decrease distance dependant on players' ages) players take it in turns to throw and aim at the cones. Each cone that a player hits is a point for their team. Once all the cones have been hit the team with the most points is the winner.

114 aiming/throwing

Cone ball

Each player is given a cone, which they can place anywhere on the playing field. The coach starts the game by throwing 2 to 4 balls onto the field. The objective of the game is to knock over other players' cones with a ball. If your own cone is knocked over, you are out and must sit on the sidelines. You are also out if you accidentally knock over your own cone while defending. Eventually, only two players remain, and the player whose cone stays standing the longest wins. To make it more challenging: Variations: The game can be played in two teams. Each team is given five cones to defend. The team that knocks over all the cones of the other team wins. Players are not permanently out. After running two rounds, they can place their cone back on the field and rejoin the game.

I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
