Equipment, Setup & Instructions
Equipment
  • Cones
  • Balls
Setup
  1. Area: Six 11x11 yard squares, each marked with cones at the corners.
  2. Group: 24 players, four positioned at each corner cone of each of the six squares.
  3. Equipment: 24 cones marking the four corners of each of the six squares, one ball placed with each group of four players for later use.
Instructions

  2. Instruct players to incorporate directional changes as directed by the coach.
