Why it works: The team race adds energy and a little pressure, so players practice layups at game speed.
Set-up. Create two teams by forming two lines
of players as shown in diagram. First player in each line starts
with a basketball.
The Activity - First
player in each line dribbles to basket and makes a layup and gets
their own rebound. Players dribble back their line and passes ball
to next player in line. The activity repeats. First team to have
all their players make a layup wins.
