    Red, Blue, Red, Blue! | Passing

    Red, Blue, Red, Blue!:

    Players work in pairs and move around the court, trying to keep dribbling to a minimum.

    Before being allowed to make a pass the ball must pass through a gate, the next player must then also pass the ball back through a gate of the other colour.

    Players progress like this until they have made 6 passes.

    Passing
    Possession and Passing on the wing | Shooting

    Possession and Passing on the wing:

    Players will set up as shown in the animation. With the basketball starting in the corner line.

    The ball will be passed from the corner to the line at the top.

    Once passed that player will run towards the free-throw line and receive the ball back.

    When that pass has been made, the player from the top line will run around the cone and towards the basket where they will receive the ball for a shot.

    Players will switch lines.

    Shooting
