1) This is a very simple, fun drill to play with your team. Divide your students in half so that there is two teams and assign either one offense and the other defense. (If your team is odd numbered, the coach may play as well.) The teams' roles will change throughout, however, so let the students give their team a name. You will need only one basketball and one side of the court (half court). 2) So, the game starts when one of the offenders gets the ball. The offender teams' goal is to shoot the ball into the hoop, while the defender teams' objective is to keep the ball from going into the hoop. 3) A few rules and the twist of the game: If a student (offense team) has the ball, the student may not move; they may only pivot. No more than 3 defenders can be defending an offender. If the ball gets in the hoop, or the ball gets intercepted by the defenders, then the round ends. And finally, the twist of the game; whichever team loses the round loses a person from their team and that person has to go to the other team. 4) When the round ends, the teams switch roles; offenders are now defenders, and defenders are now offenders. Then, you may start another round.
To enhance shooting and footwork Stregnthening passing and pivoting skills Having fun!
