drawing Shooting and rebounding
Divide the group into 2 teams.

  • Tell the story that it is autumn and the nuts are falling from the trees.
  • We are a group of squirrels and we need to gather as many nuts as we can to survive the winter. The team with the most nuts wins.
  • The coach scatters the nuts (can be ping pong balls, tennis balls or other small balls).
  • On the coach's signal, all players may start collecting nuts all dribbling.
  • They may bring one nut at a time to their nest.
  • When all the nuts are collected, we count the nuts per team and the team with the most nuts wins.
  • The chaos forces the little players to look around and not at the ball when they are dribbling.
Variation:
  • dribbling with weak hand
drawing Picking nuts
  • One player stands on the back line.
  • A row of players stand on the right corner of the bucket and left.
  • The first player gets the ball, feints to one side and then makes a layup or set shot on the other side.
  • Catch own ball, pass to the man on back line and stand in the other row.
  • Then it's the other side's turn.
drawing Feint
  • 2 teams.
  • Everyone a ball
  • Shooting from 7 positions.
  • When you have shot you go for your own Rebound, if you have caught your Rebound without the ball touching the ground you may score again immediately.
  • 15 touches per position per team.
  • So you can score 2 points at a time.
  • Half Court shot, 1 hit no Rebound.
  • Losing side receives a gift :)
