Steps:

1. Have one player stand at one end of the field with their back to the others. The rest of the players will start at the end line, each with a ball.
2. Play begins when the player with their back turned calls out red light, green light (Green=dribble, Red=stop). Once the player with their back turned yells out red light one, two, three and then turns around, the players that have been dribbling toward him/her must stop with their foot on top of the ball. Anyone moving must go back to the beginning to try again. The first player to dribble past the player calling out red light, green light, wins.
