FRAME 01 / 03
FRAME NOTE
Initial setup. 1 has the ball at the top, 5 on the left wing.

DESCRIPTION

Classic youth dribbling game. Minnows each have a ball and try to dribble from baseline to baseline. Sharks have no ball and try to knock the minnows' balls away. Last minnow standing wins.

Makes ball-handling fun. Builds protection and court awareness without anyone realising they're being trained.

COACHING POINTS

Minnows: keep dribble on the strong side, away from sharks.
Use your body and off-arm to protect.
Keep your head up, see the sharks coming.
Sharks: contest with the off-hand, never grab.
Get everyone involved every round.
