1-on-1 tournament at one basket. First player to score stays on; loser goes to the back of the line. Track who can stay 'king' the longest.
Intense competitive 1v1 work. Builds resilience and reads under fatigue.
Defender must work — no easy buckets.
Offence has 7 seconds to score; if not, defence gets the ball.
Loser MUST come back for another go — no quitting.
Clear the ball above the three-point line on every change.
Keep score publicly — accountability matters.
Start from a check at the top of the key. Start from a coach pass (catch-and-go). Make-it-take-it on stops (defender becomes offence with the ball). Tournament-style brackets.
