Hoops set up at each end. Basketballs spread out around the court. Flat cones placed in a line on the sidelines (two different colours. One colour on each side like in the picture). Kids split into 2 teams (Red and Blue). The object is to score the balance the ball you scored with on a flat cone, then get another ball, and do it again. Game is over when all balls are gone, or one team has filled up all their cones.
Score in the right basket. You can put a marker by each hoop so they know which team is going for which basket. Balance on the right coloured cone. Use bibs to signal what player is in what team. Change teams around so everyone gets a win, and a go in each colour.

Panicked passes under full-court pressure cost easy turnovers. Teach calm spacing and simple reads so your team beats the press instead of feeding it.
A ready-to-run Halloween session for junior basketball: zombie tag, ball control, a ghost rondo and a pumpkin patch shooting game.
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.
