Basketball: Circle Relay

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...
Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Set the cones up as shown in the diagram.
  • Split the group into equal teams.
    • On the whistle players have to dribble around the outside cones. Once they have completed a circuit they then move into the next (nearer the middle) set of cones.

    This is repeated until they end up in the middle, at which time they go back to their team for the next person to go.
