- players must execute a control and speed dribble before shooting

-defenders must stay an arms length away- no stealing the ball

- alternate possession after each shot, regardless of whether or not it goes in

*if gym has limited hoops available, modify team sizes (i.e.: 3vs 3, or even 4vs. 4). Can also masking tape a square to the wall as a 'mock' hoop.
