PE Basketball Stations – 20 Station Signs

Practice basketball manipulative skills including dribbling, passing, rebounding, and shooting at a rotating station.

Perform movement skills such as dodging and running during partner-based stations like Mirror Your Partner and Shadow Your Partner.

Apply dribbling and passing skills under light defensive pressure during the 5-Pass Keep-Away small-group game.

Laminate all 20 station cards before first use, as the setup guide recommends, since they will be reused across multiple classes.

Rotate students every 2 to 6 minutes as suggested, adjusting the interval based on how many of the 20 stations you set up that day.

Use softer balls for younger students, as the considerations page recommends, since the stations were designed for a grade 2 through 8 range.

Basketball dribbling and ball handling — students perform stationary, zig-zag, and figure-8 dribbling drills across multiple stations.

Passing accuracy — students practice chest and bounce passes against a wall or with a partner at dedicated passing stations.

Shooting and rebounding — students take set shots, jump shots, and layups, then retrieve their own rebound at several stations.

Cooperative partner play — students mirror, shadow, or defend a partner during four of the twenty stations.
