Cone Tap Conesting Drill

From time to time, I’ll throw a twist into one of our small group workout games just to level up the fun for the players. This small-sided game is a modified game of 1-on-1 tag.

• The shooter will start with a small cone in their hands.
• When the Dish passes out to the coach, the player runs anywhere on that side of the court, set down their cone, move away from the cone, receive a pass from the coach, then shoot a jump shot.
• The defender, who is chasing after the shooter, must tap the top of the cone before contesting the jump shot of the shooter.
