SDPD - Shoot, Dribble, Pass, Dribble

Learning Outcomes

• Use the cues for shooting and give shots a high rainbow arc. Remember and recite the cues.

Description Of Activity

1. It's for a speed challenge that will test all of your basketball skills. You and your partner will try to score as many baskets as you can in 2 minutes.
2. When I say, GO! players next to the inside spots will use proper shooting form and shoot to the spot in front of them. After shooting, dribble to your partner on the perimeter and make an accurate bounce pass, and switch positions. While waiting, perimeter players mirror the actions of offensive players.
3. As soon as the pass is made, dribble to a new inside spot for another shot. Continue until you hear the stop signal.
4. 2ft high objects are set up at a couple of spots as challenge defenders. Be sure to shoot over the top of the defender!
