Practice #1 (my wife covered for me)

Practice #2

  • No Direct Running (will be baked into other mini-games)
  • Shooting Circle Warm Up
    • Shoot and Dribble around all the baskets in the gym for 3 minutes to warm up
  • Sharks & Dribblers
    • Three Circles on the gym (or at least two rectangles)
    • Two Sharks + Rest of Team is a dribbler
    • Dribble in the safe zone for 30s + then you have to leave to another safe zone
    • But the sharks will try and take your ball away
    • Complete as many journeys as you can
    • Each Shark stays a shark and will try to stop 5 journies, after that the person with the most journey's becomes a shark.
    • Sharks can have no ball {harder} or have to dribble too {easier}
    • Loose ball ties go to the dribbler
  • Lay Up Chase
    • One Girl dribbles to lay up
    • When she crosses half court other two girls will chase and rebound and box-out
    • Points for making the shot (5), points for Rebound (3 number of bounces)
  • Loose Ball Race
    • Two Lines
    • Coach is distracting, and rolls a ball out on the court
    • Girls give chase
