Set Induction: Goodmorning! Who here can tell me who Steph Curry is? ( A basketball player
on the warriors) Has anyone ever seen his pre-game warm-up routine? Steph spends a lot of time
focusing on dribbling because it is such an important aspect of the game of basketball. Today, we
are going to go through 5 different dribbling stations that will help you improve your dribbling
skills.

I am going to count you off 1- 5. Go to whichever station # I give you. Go to that station, read
the task card, and begin moving.

your opposite hand and do 25 reps. When you
get done with both hands, go for as long as you
can with both your right and left hands without
messing up. If you mess up, start over. You can
also spin around the hoop as you dribble if you
want to. Be sure to dribble the ball at a waist
high level.

of going through, you can try to dribble
between your legs if youd like. You can go
slower if you need to.

Then pass it back to your partner. Keep going
for as long as you can without letting the ball
bounce away.

Culminating Activity: For the last few minutes, you get to pick which station you liked the most
and go to that station. Go to your stations! Wait for the green light!

Refinements/Challenges:

To make this more challenging, I would encourage them to speed up while dribbling and to try
and keep their eyes up.

One refinement I could make if students have trouble dribbling is to tell them to slow down and
look at their ball to focus on making good contact with the ball.

Closure:

I am going to ask you a few questions, if you know the answer, raise your hand. Is it best to slap
the ball down with the palm of your hand or spread your fingers out and push it down? (Spread
fingers and push)

How high should the ball be bouncing when you dribble? (To your waist)

Where should you be looking when you are dribbling? (Not at the ball, at your teammates)
