Youth

Steal the Bacon

Split players into two even groups. Groups occupy opposite baselines and each player is assigned a number that matches the number of an opposing player. Ball is then placed at center court. Coach calls out a number. The two players assigned that number break for the ball. First player to the ball is awarded one point. The player reaching the ball first is now on offense and must attempt to score on opposing teams basket. Player is awarded one point for a shot attempt and one additional point for his/her team if the shot is successful. Coach may blow whistle and call play dead at any time. Players return to their baselines and a new number is called. First team to a predetermined score wins.

Cat and mouse

1 player (cat) starts half court in a defensive position. Rest of team (mice) start on one of the baselines (spread out), each with a ball.

At whistle the mice try to dribble to the other baseline without being caught by the cat. The cat (without fouling) steals the ball from the mouse, if the cat does so that mouse now also becomes a cat.

The only rules are the cat can only steal 1 ball per baseline attempt by the mice and the cat must have control of the ball (once stolen), and dribble back to the baseline where the mouse came from (the mouse should not give up on the ball). Also, once mouse crosses the other baseline that mouse is protected so cat cannot steal that ball.

After all of the mice that did not get their ball stolen, stop game and take all of the stolen balls out of play and set your (now) cats and mice up to do it again!!!!

Clap pass

You get all the players circled around you. You pass the ball to random players in the group. The player must clap before they catch the ball. They sit out if:
1.They don’t catch the ball
2.They don’t clap
3.They clap when you fake a pass to them

Quick

In a circle, you in middle. The kids copy you running on the spot, jumping etc. When you say quick they get into the defensive position. However if you say get down they continue to do what they were beforehand they are only out if you see them.
