When crossover dribbling, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder with your ball between your feet. When I say, “GO!” dribble to the midline, perform a crossover move then dribble back to the baseline. When you come back to the baseline, put your ball between your feet so I know that you are ready.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Coalition II. In this game, the objective is to attempt a crossover dribble so that you can pass the basketball as many times as possible to your teammate

• Each team is against one another.
• If you deflect or steal the ball, the ball is then in your possession.
• You must stand an arm’s length away when defending.
• You cannot stay standing with the ball for longer than 20 seconds.
• One point is earned after a team successfully passes five times.
• At the end of five minutes, the winning team stays in their section and the other two teams rotate right.

TEACHING TIPS

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Basket Weave II. In this game, the objective is to get from one end of the court to the other while performing a crossover dribble past each defender.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select one student to begin as the dribbler.
• He/she will begin at the baseline.
• Everyone else will be a defender.
• Defenders cannot move their feet, hands or arms.
• Before the game begins, defenders must spread out an equal distance from the baseline to the end line.
• When I say, “GO!” the dribbler must dribble in a weaving pattern from the baseline to the end line while performing a crossover dribble.
• The dribbler cannot go outside the boundary cones.
• Once the dribbler makes it to the half-way point, the next defender closest to the baseline will begin as the dribbler.
• When the dribbler gets to the end line, he/she becomes the last defender and everyone moves down.
• We will begin a new game when everyone has had a chance to be a dribbler.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing 3 v 2 Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to attempt a crossover dribble to get past a defender and score on your opponent.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of two or three using flags to tell who they are.
• All games will be played on a half-court.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide which team will start with the ball at the half-court line.
• Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded one point, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.
• If the defense gains possession of the ball within the arc, by a steal, a block or a rebound, the team must move the ball behind the arc before taking a shot.
• After a shot is made, the play restarts with a student from the non-scoring team taking the ball directly under the basket and then dribbling or passing it to a point behind the arc. The defense is not allowed to play, block or charge for the ball inside the arc.  
• There is no pushing or shoving. Any fouls may result in loss of play for the student.
• We will begin a new game and rotate teams at the end of 10 minutes.
