Basketball drill: picking nuts

Suitable for the following techniques: warming-up , dribbling

Picking nuts

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
