DRILLS/ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP THE SKILL1. Zombie Chase Class is divided into two teams. Each team only needs one ball. Students are in a line standing 7 feet from each other. The person at the front has the ball and must weave in and out of his/her teammates. They will dribble down and back. When they get to the front they will hand the ball off to the next person in line. When that student gets back to the beginning he/she must also go around the first person in line to get to the next person up. Continue until everyone has gone through. First team to finish wins Equipment needs: 2 basketballs 2. Octopus Attack! One student will be the designated Octopus. All other students have a basketball. Everyone is inside of a specific area. On the whistle, the Octopus runs around trying to knock the basketballs away and out of the area. If this happens, the student who gets their ball knocked out now becomes an Octopus too!
