OFTEN USED WITH...

hoop dribbling:

Hoops scattered in the area.
Players dribble from one hoop to another.
When the trainer whistles everybody should dribble to one of the hoops.
But.... there is one hoop less than the number of children. So one player cannot go into a hoop. He must sit down next to the trainer.
The trainer takes out a hoop every time. Who will be the last player left on the court ?

variations :
- dribble with left hand
- dribble with right hand
- dribble with both hands in turn every time

dribbling/defence of dribbling

Dribble across the zone:

The white players try to cross the court area by dribbling.

There is one blue player stationed between the first cone zone who tries to snatch balls from the white players.

There are also two blue players trying to snatch balls in the second zone.

dribbling/defence of dribbling

line race:

All players start at the starting point.
The trainer calls out a number e.g. 2. Players run to line 2 and back.
Player who comes first wins and gets a point.

variations :
- loser gets a letter of the word DONKEY every time he comes last.
Who is the real DONKEY : who gets all the letters first is the real loser/DONKEY
