- Cones
Setup
- Area: 20x20 yard area
- Goals: Two mini goals, one angled in each of two corners of the area
- Group: 1 player starts on the end line, repeated for each additional player with one ball and cone each

Instructions
- Players perform a dynamic exercise (e.g. high knees, skipping, or hopping) to the cone.
