Split the group up into equal numbered groups. The pupils will dribble a ball down one length of the court and then make a pass to the pupil at the front of the next group. The pupil receiving the pass will play a pass back to the original pupil. Once the pupil has received the ball back again, they will dribble in to the basket and perform a layup. Then the pupil who played the ball back to the original holder, takes the rebound and passes it to the next pupil.
