The kids all start on a spot. When the music starts the kids go around the circle (can be made with cones or spots) with the ball (dribbling, bounce & catching or walking with the ball). Once the music stops the have to score a basket (baskets set up inside the circle), and then go back to their original spot and sit down. You can give points to the fastest or eliminate the slowest. For smaller ones we can substitue the ball for beanbags or small plastic ball.
See how they go bouncing the ball. How is their shooting technique.

Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
