-Instructions:
On your signal to begin, all the players dribble their balls, with their hands, around the left side of the first cone.
Players must go around the right side of the first cone and then around the left side of the second cone, completing figure eights.
Players complete five laps of the figure eight.
Players may knock other player's balls away.
-Questions & Notes:
With this many balls and players crossing through the middle of the figure eight at the same time, this is a game of considerable chaos. Encourage the players to enjoy the game and not to be too competitive.
Make this race a relay race by having two or more teams on their own courses, with each team completing the course three or more times.
