DESCRIPTION

A fast‑paced competitive shooting game that develops pressure shooting, quick decision-making, and rebound anticipation, while keeping players engaged and active.

COACHING POINTS

Create a line of players behind the free‑throw line (or a closer spot for younger players).
The first two players in line each have a ball.
Player 1 shoots first.

As soon as the ball leaves Player 1’s hands, Player 2 may shoot.

If Player 1 scores before Player 2, Player 1 retrieves the ball and returns to the end of the line.
If Player 2 scores before Player 1, Player 1 is knocked out (eliminated).
After shooting, each player must immediately rebound their own shot as quickly as possible.
A player may continue shooting from anywhere after the first shot.
The game continues until only one player remains — the Knockout Champion.
