Exercise #461: Red Light/Green Light

OBJECTIVE:	"Red Light/Green Light" is a fun game for your beginning-level players to play while requiring them to focus on dribbling and stopping the ball quickly.
DESCRIPTION:	Line your players up on a short end of a rectangular grid, with the coach facing them on the other end. Have your players dribble the length of the grid. The coach calls out "red light" to have the players stop dribbling, and "green light" to continue. Players unable to stop their balls quickly go back to the beginning.
vARIANT:	Add the option for "yellow light", which prompts the players to dribble slowly, and remind them to dribble as fast as they can when you call out "green light".
