Players start out in the corner either side of the court. Set up 2 cones in front of the players. The first cone around 15ft away. The next cone 30ft away. There will also be another 2 cones 18 ft away from the basket. To begin, Players dribble to the 1st cone and perform a crossover. Players then dribble to the 2nd cone and do another crossover. When they reach the 3rd and 4th cone in front of the basket, the player must perform a new dribbe skill such as a behind the back or spin move. After completing the two cones the player must attack the basket and layup the ball. Then collect their ball and pass it to the next in line at the coner of the court.
Be sure that the players perform the skills before the cones not on them and that the players try beat them like it was an actual defender.
