GROUP SIZE

8 or more

EQUIPMENT

Basketballs, Cones, Hula Hoop, 1 Basketball Hoop

SETUP

Place the children in a traditional relay race line.  In front of each team place cones and a hula hoop as shown in the image below.  They will need to dribble their ball towards a basketball hoop.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. On ‘go’ the first child in line dribbles their basketball through cones in a figure-8 style.

2. As soon as they complete that task, they come to a hula hoop and must dribble the basketball around the hoop 2 complete times.

3. Next, they must dribble to the basket and take 1 shot.  Whether they make it or miss it, they must dribble back the same way they came and hand the ball off to the next child in line.

4. The first team to make 10 baskets wins the race.

Make it Easier: 

Use less cones and take away the hula hoop.

Make it Harder:

Add more cones to dribble around as well as adding another hula hoop.
