Part 1 - Warm Up
'Tag Ball'
1 ball.  2-3 taggers.  Taggers must work together to move the ball around attempting to tag opposition with the ball.  Players with the ball must pivot only, (no dribbling allowed, cannot run with the ball).  Once tagged, students join the tagging team until 1 person is left
Modifications:
- introduce more basketballs.
- change playing space (make smaller or bigger)
- instead of 2-3 taggers, make 2 equal teams.

Part 2 - Skill Progression/Development 
'King of the Court' 
In small groups, students work on offensive skills during game like situations.  Playing space = anywhere in 3 point shooting arc.  Two players at a time play 1 v 1.  Player that scores stays in offense, the defenders rotate.  
Modification:  
- Introduce 2 v 2 or 3 v 3.  
- Extend playing space to half court.  
- All players must have possession of the ball.    

'First to Ball Shoots' 
Students pair up and will play against each other.  Ball is fed into space, 1st player to the ball iwill attempt to score.  Try to assimilate a fast break scenario, encouraging students to lay-up.

Part 3 - Skill Application
'Numbers Basketball' 
Two teams.   Each student on the team has a number, 1-10 (or higher depending on number of students).  Both teams wait on the sidelines ready to play.   If a players number gets called out, they run into the field and play Basketball.  

'Game' 
Organise a mini round robin.  Have students manage, referee and score their own matches.
