Coordination Competition

Pitch: Two hurdles stand between the groups facing each other. Four red and four blue cones form the cone goals; a ball lies on each of the two yellow and the two green cones.

Equipment: 2 hurdles, 12 cones in four colours and several balls.

Players: Two equally large groups facing each other at the hurdles.

• The coach gives a start command with two colours.
• The first player of each group jumps over the hurdles.
• They collect the ball at the cone of the colour named first — green or yellow.
• With the ball they dribble through the cone goal that was called — red or blue.

Variations: Make the task harder by requiring the players to go to the cone or cone goal whose colour was not named. If the coach calls green, for example, the start is made towards the ball at the yellow cone.
