  3. Once the shooter shoots, the rebounder boxes out the shooter and rebounds the ball.
  4. Once the shooter rebounds the ball he then passes to the next shooter and sprints to close-out the new shooter. 
  5. The drill continues until the rebounder has rebounded all 6 shooters.

    Basketball is meant to be fun, although at times it gets pretty competitive and serious, as any team sport. But kids should have fun, without stress, playing with their friends on their own, without referees, coaches, etc. When I was a kid many years ago, we would just go up and down the neighborhood and get kids to play games... basketball, baseball, football... whatever. For various reasons, that doesn't happen much these days.

    But kids can still have lots of fun by playing simple games with just a couple or several players, in your driveway, or at the gym. Several simple, fun games are described below. What's great is that anyone can play regardless of age, size, skill-level, etc. Even Mom and Dad can play. So get out in the driveway and have some fun!
