Many thanks. This resource has helped me a lot, as a coach and as...

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

All players except for two defenders are dribbling inside a half-court area.

The two defenders start tagging the other players. Once tagged players must put their ball aside and help the taggers.

The last player dribbling is the winner.

COACHING POINTS

Variations:

Increase/ decrease the size of the playing area.

To make life harder for the taggers they must also dribble.

Every man for himself - each player tries to keep dribbling their ball for as long as possible whilst trying to dispossess all the other players.

Team dribble - Points game:

In this game there are more attackers than defenders.

The aim for the attackers is to dribble from one line to the other without being dispossessed. Every time they successfully do this they score a point for their team.

After a player is tackled they may retrieve their ball but they will not score a point on that turn.

Each team has 10 runs before you the teams are changed.

The team who scored the most runs is the winning side.
