Players are in 2 lines, above the foul line, even with the lane lines. Place a chair in the middle of the lane lines, above the foul line, with the seat facing the basket. Place a ball on the chair When the coach calls "Go," the first player in each line sprints and touches a spot on the baseline in the center of the lane. Players then sprint back to the chair First player to the ball picks it up and is the offense. Other player is defense. Game is on!
Offensive player immediately faces the basket and thinks "Shot." If the ball is dribbled reinforce "Lay-up" Limit the number of dribbles. You should be able to score with 1 dribble. In no situation should you allow more than 3. Source: https://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/drills/top1on1.html
