In this activity, students are dribbling in free space using the proper cues of the tap and bump technique. Students dribble around the space and try not to get tagged. Students get tagged when the balls from other students collide. If this happens, students hug their ball and spread their legs until one of the untagged students kicks their ball through the open legs of the tagged student. A tagged student can now dribble again once this occurs.

This activity focuses on dribbling and controlling the ball with the feet. You will scatter deck rings around the playing area and each student starts in a personal space with a ball.  On the signal, students dribble the ball with their feet to a ring and attempt to get it into the ring using any part of the foot/feet. Every time they get their ball into a ring, they give themselves a point. When time is up, students now have a personal score in their head. There are 3 rounds to this activity with different directions for each round.
