Partner Speed Dribble Points Challenge
Set up four rows of cones.
Each row has a different point value.
Row 1 equals 1 point, row two equals 2, row three equals 3, and row four equals 4.
Players spread out with their partner on the end line. Partner 1 is the leader for the first 2 minutes. Whichever row of cones she dribbles to her partner has to dribble to the same row. So if she selects row 2, then the partner must dribble to row 2 as well.
Partners add their points together as they accumulate them.
After 2 minutes, the partners recover (1 minute) and discuss their strategy for the next round. Specifically, what could they do differently to increase their total score during the next 2 minutes when the other partner becomes the leader?
