5 lines on the back line, trainer has the ball.

- 2 rows are defenders, rest is attack

- Everyone has to touch the middle line and then attack or defend

- Trainer throws ball in the field or in the circle

1 line with 3 balls

- small field outside, players make a lay-up back and forth and pass to the next one in line.

- If you miss, you have to do it again (build up slowly first).

- Variant: for example 5 dribbles --> they have to make speed

Line up with space around you

- Trainer in front of the group gives instructions with ball in hand

- Ball left or right --> slide to the left or right

- Ball above head --> Jump

- Ball in front of you with arms extended --> situps

- Ball on stomach --> tapping

- Ball on the ground --> push-ups
