THE SESSION: Musical Cones

Players dribble around inside area. When coach says STOP or music stops, all players rush to the closest cone they find. Only one player per cone. Next round, remove a cone. When music stops and players rush to cones, one player will be without a cone to go to. They will be out. 3rd round, remove another cone, and so on.....

PROGRESSIONS: Add different color cones to confuse. Or use the different color cones when saying STOP. When coach says STOP, or music stops, the coach calls out the color. For example: Music is playing...music stops...coach calls out Blue...instead of rushing to yellow cones, the players rush to the closest blue cone. Again, only one player per cone.

KEY MESSAGES/POINTS:

Keep head up while dribbling. Keep ball close, but move quick.
