Equipment, Setup & Instructions
Equipment
  • Cones
  • Stopwatch or timer
  • Boundary markers
Setup
  1. Area: 15x15 yard area marked with cones
  2. Team Red: 1 red outfield player (Dome Chaser) starts spaced randomly within the area
  3. Team Blue: 1 blue outfield player (Dish Runner) starts spaced randomly within the area
  4. Equipment: Boundary cones marking the 15x15 area, plus additional cones scattered randomly throughout the area with half placed dome-side up and half placed dish-side up (upside down)
Instructions
  1. On the coach's signal, both teams move around the area.
  2. Dome Chasers aim to flip the cones upwards.
  3. Dish Runners flip the cones downwards.
  4. Play continues for 1-2 minutes.
  5. The team with the most cones flipped their way wins the round.
Coaching Points
  • Encourage players to communicate effectively to coordinate efforts.
  • Ensure players are maintaining high intensity to increase heart rate and muscle temperature.
  • Monitor player's first touch and general body language to gauge focus.
  • Advise gradual ramp-up in intensity and ensure hydration is maintained.
  • Focus on making the drill fun while emphasizing the importance of warm-ups.
Variations
Make it harder:
1. Reduce the playing area to increase density.
2. Decrease the time limit to increase pressure.
Make it easier:
1. Increase the duration of the round to allow more time for players to adapt.
2. Allow each team to focus only on half of the field.
