Do you want to get in shape? You can, but you need a few things for it.

  • What do you need to do?
    • Pawns

    • Stairs
  • First of all, it's important that you warm up well before you start working on your fitness!
  • What do you have to do?
    • Run 2 cones in front 1 in back and repeat that every time.
      • Do that twice
    • Take the ball and run 5 circles with it.
      • This will give you ball control and also ensure that you have worked on your fitness for a while.
    • You can also do exercises for your condition inside by running 5 times up and down the stairs.
  • Of course you can give your own twist to how you want to do it, but I find these are the nicest and most fun ways to improve.
  • Don't try to run fast the first day without stopping, do it in steps!

drawing Ball game (warm up / interlude)

  • Knowing defensive stance / attacking principle of in-out.

Organization:

  • Coach gives pass on spot one (only attack after four passes/four swings)
  • Attacker at spot two and three
  • In/out move
  • First part of the exercise 1vs1; second part 2vs2
  • Passing on: offense becomes defense, defense connects and steps in as offense afterwards (stay on same side)


Goal:

  • Teach correct defensive position (denial + help defense)


Teaching points:

  • Quickly change position when the ball changes sides, read defenses as attackers (backdoor)
  • In/out to the bucket, when defending short, get out to 1m outside 3pt line and use backdoor option, jump to the ball as defender
drawing Denial defence / 1vs1 and 2vs2

Prerequisites:

  • Some game insight at fill the spot, be able to apply defensive stance (denail - helpside)

Goal:

  • offence: quickly see where there is an empty spot and cut through after a pass, defence: adjust stance according to how the ball is moving

Organization

  • 4 players (U10) on a spot with defence, empty spot under the ring.
  • Offence: pass the ball around and make a quick cutting move towards the empty spot below the ring, other attackers move up and the empty spot is filled in by the cutting attacker.
  • Defence: adjust position according to the ball. (hands on the ball, denail, weakside help on the line ring-ring)
  • 5 passes (calmly), then 4vs4
  • Passing on: offence becomes defence, defence steps out and then becomes offence
  • Possibly start with passive defence (hands on back) depending on players' level.


teaching points

  • Offence: good pass - in/out to deep bucket and high stepping out - placement of feet - attention to mistakes.
  • Defence: anticipate the ball - check correct posture per spot before passing - jump-to-the-ball


drawing Filling spots and defending


Three teams line up one ball on the back line.

  • Coach throws ball against the board (if he scores take it)
  • Middle player picks up rebound and chooses an outlet side
  • Outlet at speed to head of the bucket on the other side, matching player cuts behind the outlet.
  • Fill three lanes, possibly add defenders to make it harder (pick up two players from the center line, or rebound more first)
