Dribble Knockout Basketball Drill

When a player reaches the free throw line, they must shoot. If they make it, they give the ball to the next person in line. If they miss, they must follow their shot and put the ball in the basket before the person behind them makes it. If the person behind you makes their shot before you do, you're out (knocked out). The game continues until only one player is left. The last player standing is the winner and you start over again. Optionally you can award two winners since it can sometimes take a while when you get down to only two players. In this drill, players will really have to hustle to knock each other out and win the game. It can turn into a tough conditioner. You should of course work both sides so you practice dribbling and shooting going both directions. Simply move the line and the cone from the left side to the right side. If you don't have a cone you can use a chair, garbage can, or about anything you want
