Set out 10-20 tall cones around the room (depending on size of class) have kids dribble up to cones and bounce the ball 2-4 times before knocking down the cone with their chest pass.
Encourage kids to bounce & Catch. Once they've completed the bounce and catch encourage the kids to use their chest pass to knock down the cone.

Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
