Basketball drills
- The players line up in two groups on the sideline near the halfway line.
- The first 2 players of the red group line up on one side of the field and have the ball.
- One player of the blue team lines up on the other side.
- As soon as the attacking team crosses the centre line, the 2nd player of the blue team runs around the cone in the centre circle and starts defending.
- Attacking players try to score before the 2nd player gets there.
