Training Cones and a Ball Coloring Page

Three practice cones stand in a row with a ball sitting just below the middle one, and a band of grass runs across the foot of the page. Every coach sets up a line like this at the start of training. The drill is to weave the ball through the cones without knocking one over, and anyone who has done it recognizes the shape immediately. Cones are bright on purpose, because a dull cone is a cone somebody trips over. Orange is the real world answer, though pink and yellow are common too, and all three work here. Keep all three cones the same color so the row reads as one set of equipment. Vary them and the page turns into three separate objects. The flat square bases sit slightly darker than the cone bodies, which is both true to life and an easy way to show a child how one object can hold two shades. The grass strip at the bottom can take a light pass or stay white. This page suits ages four and up and makes a good first sheet for a child who is new to the game.
