21

Three players are best for this basketball shooting drill. Two players are under the basket in position for rebounds. The third player starts the game at the foul line and attempts up to 3 free throws. Each shot = 1 point.

If all 3 free throws are made, that player takes the basketball near the top of key, drives on the other two players and tries to score however possible (lay-up, hook, field goal). The other two players defend and try to stop the shot.

If the shot is made (it = 2 points), that player goes back to foul line and tries up to 3 more free throws again.

If at any time (beginning of game or after a successful field goal), a free throw is missed, the ball is live and anyone can get the rebound. Whoever gets the rebound has to make a shot to earn the right to go to the foul line for the 3 free throw attempts.

The first basketball player to 21 points wins.

Variation - Players take turns attempting a perimeter shot, grabbing the rebound and then putting up a lay-up. Perimeter shots get 2 points and lay-ups = 1 point. Again, first basketball player to 21 wins.

You can spice things up by stipulating that the game can't be won with a lay-up. So after reaching 19 or 20 points, a perimeter shot needs to be made to win the game.
