• Great basketball players have great fitness levels. Let's work on our dribbling skills and fitness.
• When I say, GO! count how many times you can dribble the ball.
• When you make a mistake, complete 1 mini-jump for each dribble that you made (e.g., 4 dribbles in a row = 4 mini-jumps).
• Do mini-jumps by holding the ball in both hands over your head and then making quick 1-inch jumps off 2 feet.
