How it works

1. Players jog around a square with a ball.
2. The coach calls “green” (jog), “amber” (walk) or “red” (stop and hold the ball still).
3. Add more calls once they've got it: “purple” (pass to the nearest player), “blue” (put the ball down and touch your toes).

Coaching points

• It's a game, but it practises your stop signal.
• Use the same stop call you use in every session.
• Reward the fastest stops.

Ready for the next level when: Every player stops on “red” within a second.
