2) Each team has a ball and its own hoop.
In the middle of the field there is a hoop with pawns in it. These are pawns in the shape of a hat.

In the middle of the field there is a hoop with pawns in it. These are pawns in the shape of a hat.
- One player of each team dribbles to the hoop, zigzagging through the poles.

- The player dribbles with the hat back to his/her own hoop.
- The player dribbles back to his/her own hoop, takes the hat off his/her head and puts it in the hoop.
- The player gives the ball to the next player and the next player can leave.
Can be extended to four teams, with the two other teams dribbling in from the sides of the field.
- Players distribute to the bucket.
- Opposite them will be defenders.
- Attackers are going to take care of 8 to 10 passes -straight- while defense tries to get in between.
- Attackers are allowed to make in outs but no screens. So they really stay on their own position.
- The attacker with the ball is allowed to make 1 dribble to get the ball to his teammate and make a good pass.
- After 8 to 10 well-crafted passes there is a scoring attempt after which offense and defense will switch.
Outdoor training:
- Run laps with slides over the baseline
- On command all the time
- Push-ups,
- Situps,
- Rapping,

- You start with 0 points.
- If you miss it is -1.
- If you score with plate or hit the ring your score stands.
- If you score nothing but net - without hitting anything +1
- This is how you try to go to 10 in group.
- The team is divided into two groups and set up on the sideline at the height of the center line.
- 1 blue player stands ready to defend
- 2 red players are ready to attack
