Basketball drill: picking nuts

Suitable for the following techniques: warming-up , dribbling

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.
