  2. 4 cone pulls: now use 4 cones to make a square. start in the middle and pull to each of the cones, side to side and forward to back. how many pulls can you do in 30 seconds? Repeat 5 times
  3. 4 cone forehand: with the same 4 cones start at one cone and dribble around the shape using only your forehand. how many times can you go around in 30 seconds? Repeat 5 times
  4. 4 cone backhand: now start at one cone and dribble around the shape using only your backhand. how many times can you go around in 30 seconds? Repeat 5 times
  5. 4 cone colors: now start in the center of the shape and have a sibling or parent call out a color. dribble to that cone as quickly as you can and then dribble back to the center. how many cones can you get to in 30 seconds? Repeat 5 times
