1/2 court Knockaway with only 6 people left

 

Organizational Points: 

- begin with all students in one half of the court, gradually getting smaller as students improve

- students re-enter when eliminated, unless a 'competition' is desired

- if students don't re-enter, they must run alternating dribble lines: speed dribble to one end, control dribble back
