Dribbling, protecting the ball

Why it works: Players learn to shield the ball and keep their dribble alive under pressure, and it is easy to run.

Set-up. Each player dribbles a basketball within a predetermined area (for 8 players e.g. inside the zone).

The Game - Each player tries to knock out the other players’ balls or force him/her to double dribble or force the player out of bounds. Winner is the one who is last dribbling.

Variations - Can only dribble in back court.
