Grid 15x15M, ball each player, 3 different coloured conee, half of each colour face upwards (normal position) and three of each colour face down.
Game:
On command all the players dribble into the area and go to the cones.
They either turn their own colour the right way up and/or turn the other two colours upside down.
This helps them learn how to dribble in a congested space, dribble at speed and keep the ball under close control.
Then shout “Stop. Compound.”
The players pick up their own ball and run back into a compound, which is a coned-off area alongside the main playing area.
The cones are then counted.
Each team is given two points for every one of their own cones that is the right way up. Then deduct one point from the team whose final player is last to get back to the compound.
