Scrimmage: oversized no dribble game

This is a team scrimmage drill played with normal basketball rules except no dribbling. It works best with more than 5-on-5 (6-on-6 or 7-on-7), but can be adapted to any group size. Teams are evenly divided and play on a full or modified court. How it Works: Play live basketball with one major constraint: no player is allowed to dribble. After catching the ball, players must stop, pivot, pass, or shoot. All other rules remain the same. The coach can add additional constraints to shape behavior, such as: Three-point shots only Paint finishes only Must make a set number of passes before shooting Play continues like a normal scrimmage, emphasizing movement, spacing, and decision-making without the use of the dribble. Focus Points: Cutting and relocating to create advantages Passing accuracy and timing Playing off pivots and footwork Offensive spacing and ball movement Team communication and awareness
