Roller slides
Works on staying down on defense and sliding.
Instructions
Each player has a basketball. They start at one side of the lane and slide to the next side while tapping the basketball from one hand to the next. The basketball never comes off the floor (rolling ball from hand to hand). Tell players to bend at knees not at the waste. This will get them to stay down.
Tips
Do this for about 1 minute then switch groups. Do it 3 times through.

Players
Group of 4 or 5
