Garbage Man

This game is a combination of the basketball shooting games called combination drills "21" and "Around the World" and works on catching and shooting, foul shooting, footwork, finishing, rebounding and boxing out.

Set up cones at different shooting areas at least three feet outside the paint perimeter and as far out as the three-point line perimeter. Assemble three to five pairs of players, each pair comprising of a backcourt and frontcourt player. All of the frontcourt players enter the paint and their teammates line up behind the first cone. The first player shoots and if it goes in, they advance to the next cone. The next player shoots. If a shot is missed, the ball is live. The basketball players in the paint go for the rebound and attempt put back shots. If a player makes the put back, their teammate advances a cone. Basically, a team advances one cone once a teammate makes a shot and the first pair to make it to the last cone wins.

Call all fouls. After a team advances to next cone, the next team shoots. Ball is blown dead once the rebound attempt bounces outside of the paint. Make sure the players in the paint don't dribble away from the hoop. Teach them to move toward the basket. Teach your basketball players how to draw fouls, ball fakes, drop steps, up and under moves, foul shooting box outs, etc.

Variations: Once a team reaches the last cone, have them work back to the beginning. Or the frontcourt player can switch with the shooter who now has to play smart in the paint against bigger players. It also gives the other teams a chance to catch up.
