Execution
- Begin with performing lay-ups from both sides of the basket. Ensure that each player uses the correct technique and alternates between left and right.
- After completing the lay-ups, proceed with taking shots from various distances around the court. Focus on shooting technique and balance.
-
Setup
- Position the players in pairs, one behind the other, facing the wall.
- Each pair needs one tennis ball.
- Player 1 stands closest to the wall and starts by throwing the ball against the wall.
- Player 2 catches the ball.
- Player 1 then moves back via the right side and catches the ball that Player 2 has just thrown against the wall.
- Repeat this at least 20 times.
- Make the exercise more challenging by catching the ball in a cone.
-
Objective
- The objective of this exercise is to improve team play and ball control by passing the ball within a team ten times without the opponent intercepting it.
- The exercise is played with two teams on a half or full court.
- One team starts with the ball and tries to pass it ten times without interception.
- If the team succeeds, they earn a point and the other team starts with the ball.
- It is not allowed to run with the ball.
- You may take two steps while holding the ball, but then it must be passed.
- If the ball falls to the ground, possession goes to the opponent.
- You cannot pass back to the player who passed the ball to you.
- To make it more challenging, a rule can be added that if a team scores, they double their points achieved so far.
- Both baskets can be used.
-
Objective
- The aim is to make a shot from the corner following a switch on the screen and a pass to a post player.
- Start by setting a screen on the defender of the ball handler.
- Perform a switch on the screen, where the defenders exchange positions.
- The ball handler makes a pass to the post player who moves to the corner.
- The post player takes the shot from the corner.
-
Execution
- Move the ball and perform a 'close out'.
- Play 2 versus 2 until a score is made.
- After scoring, take the ball to the other basket and try to score there.
- Return along the side of the court.
- The next team starts as soon as the first team has returned.
-
Execution
- One player is the tagger and tries to tag the other players.
- The remaining players attempt to move three tennis balls from their current coloured container to another coloured container without being tagged.
- Perform a cross-over three times, both left and right.
- Execute a lay-up with a variation after each cross-over.
-
Setup
- 1 versus 1 setup outside the three-point line.
- Players face each other, with one player inside the three-point line (defender) and one player outside (attacker).
- Play a "hot potato" game where the ball is quickly passed back and forth between the players.
- The outside player chooses a moment to drive towards the basket.
- The inside player responds by immediately going into defence.
-
Objective
- To improve balance and stability by passing the ball to each other while standing on one leg.
- Players stand in pairs facing each other on the court.
- Both players stand on one leg.
- One player has a ball.
- Player 1 throws the ball to Player 2.
- Player 2 catches the ball and throws it back to Player 1.
- Both the passer and the receiver remain on one leg while throwing and catching.
- The coach determines the number of times the ball is passed back and forth.
- Use different sizes of basketballs or other types of balls.
- Change the distance between the players.
- Vary the types of passes, such as chest pass or bounce pass.
- Ensure the feet are pointing straight forward and are slightly more than shoulder-width apart.
- Distribute the weight over the balls of the feet, not on the toes.
- Keep the heels on the ground.
- Keep the knees bent.
- Keep the back straight.
