Summary

Introduce or review the core skills of basketball with this active, fast-paced PE lesson. The session drills key skills used in the NBA Draft Combine, the process through which teams, scouts, coaches and general managers evaluate players, building to a mini game. Students are also encouraged to explore how basketball impacts 'soft skills', rating teamwork, organisation, problem-solving and communication before and after the session.

For more experienced students, please explore the Jr. NBA curriculum for higher level drills to swap into the team tasks – these resources are divided into four levels to easily identify drills for all skill levels: jr.nba.com/jr-nba-instructional-curriculum/
