Shooting
Dribble shoot relay


sketch
1
2-3-4 teams on the baseline, two balls per team. One player from each team dribbles fullcourt to the far basket, takes one shot, dribbles back, shoots once at the near basket, gives the ball to a teammate. The second player on each team goes when the first player shoots at the far end. First team to X baskets wins. Repeat with weakhand dribbling.

Variations

- one or more teams start on opposite baselines (e.g. with 2 teams)
- dribble with the outside hand (change hands coming back)
- start with layups
- 2 points for a weak-hand layup
- players can (or must) shoot until they score
- limit of 3 shots at each basket for kids
- perimeter shots only
- shoot only at the far basket
- shoot only at the near basket, dribble around cones at the far end
- only one ball per team
- step-backs, crossover-shoot, spin-shoot, hesitation pull-ups etc.
- regular scoring, take 2-point or 3-point shots, play to 21 points (option - 1 point for a layup, or any shot in the paint).
