Purpose
Set up cones in grid pattern prior to class Class can be started right away if equipment is already set up.
Can easily change the size of the playing area by adding or eliminating quadrants depending on the skill level and number of people in the class.
Use as much of the gym space as you can This gives you more area for each group to use in their game.  Students will be less likely to interfere with other games if they lose their ball.
When planning games, make many smaller games  This gives each student more oppertunities to be involved in the game.  It also reduces the complexity of the game.
Have ball racks or hoops to put balls in Stops equipment from rolling onto the playing surface and possibly injuring some one.
Position group so that they can all see and hear you This minimizes the number of students not listening and goofing around.
