Aim: This game encourages the players to bring what they have learned from the session into a scenario where they are under pressure when shooting.
It is essentially a knockout game.
Everyone lines up at the free throw line. The first two players have a basketball each.
Once the first players basketball hits the ring or backboard the second player can shoot.
If the player who shoots first scores he is safe and passes the ball to the next shooter.
If the second player scores before the first shooter, then they have knocked the first shooter out. eventually there is a last person standing.
This game can be split up into groups at multiple baskets to ensure no player is left idle for a long length of time.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
