- After his pass, the wing walks to the other side of the ring to position himself as a centre.
- Meanwhile the server passes the ball to the other wing who is ready to play (swinging).
- The players start from one side of the ring with a zig-zag stepslide to the centre line.
- From the cone at the half way line, they sprint to the goal, receive the pass and finish with a lay-up.
- After the lay-up the players take their own rebound and take the place of the passer.
- With enough players this exercise can also be done on a full court.
- Playmaker gives the pass to the wing
- The playmaker cuts through and positions himself at the center position
- The wing steps out and gives a collision pass to the center
- The centre can finish with the following movements
- open step to the inside
- Fake open step to the inside -> turn around and finish with a shot
- Fake open step inside -> turn outside -> step inside and finish with a one-step lay-up
- Ball leaves the baseline
- pass to player on mid-line-sideline -> player follows ball and runs up the field
- player returns the pass and cuts through towards the ring
- the pass is given to the 2nd player on the half way line
- player gives the pass to the player that is cutting towards the ring
- finishing with a lay-up
- The player on the baseline runs to the wing position, gets the pass and turns towards the goal to look for a shot.
- The winger with the ball does 2 cross dribbles between the cones and then finishes with a lay-up or shot
- Divide the players into groups and give each player a number (equal groups).
- Each group in a corner of the field and balls in the centre circle.
- When the coach says your number, you run to the centre circle, grab a ball and you get 2 attempts to score (max 2 x 1 point for your group).
- Games to the 10 for example and losers push up.
- To keep the speed up, have several numbers run at the same time.
- Everyone a ball, line up in a large circle.
- Trainer shows the exercise, players follow:
- Spread out and roll the ball in an 8-shape between the legs.
- Roll the ball around your waist, head legs (change direction)
- Dribble with left, right, change hands.
- let the whole group dribble at the same time (rhythm exercise, all in rhythm!)
- dribble between your legs
- dribble behind your back
- Shot movement upwards (extend arm, point, catch)
- Spread position (move the ball in an 8-shape without touching the ground)
- Make 2 rows with 1 ball.
- Player gives bounce/chest pass to other row and runs after the ball, and closes behind.
- Extend:
- Place a pylon around which the players have to walk (or 2 pylons).
- Possibly instead of passing dribble with the ball (left and right)
- Everyone has a ball
- 10x high/10x middle/10x low -> focus on the power on the ball and dribbling with the fingertips
- 10x right 2 dribbles -> crosscross (step on the cross)
- 10x left 2 dribbles -> crosscross (step on the cross)
- 10x right 2 dribbles -> Between (step)
- 10x left 2 dribbles -> Between (step)
- 10x right 2 dribbles -> Behind (step)
- 10x left 2 dribbles -> Behind (step)
- 5x right 2 dribbles -> cross/between/behind
- 5x left 2 dribbles -> cross/between/behind
- Per 2, 1 person has 2 balls
- 2 dribbles with both balls -> pass one ball to the other player and do the above exercises but dynamically (walk to the other side of the field)
- different variations possible: cross, between and behind
- Per 2, 1 ball
- The person carrying out the exercise receives the ball and does the exercise 'cross/between/behind' once and then gives the pass back.
- The person carrying out the exercise receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 2x and then returns the pass
- the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 3x and gives back the pass
- the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 4x and gives back the pass
- the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 5x and gives back the pass
- the performer receives the ball and does the cross/between/behind exercise 4x, and then returns the pass
- the performer receives the ball and does the cross/between/behind exercise 3 times, and then gives back the pass
- the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 2x and gives back the pass
- the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 1x and gives back the pass
- 1 man attack - 1 man defend
- 3 to 5 gates, centre gate 4 points, inner gates 2 points, outer gate 1 point, failed 0 points
- 2 x 3 attempts, most points wins
- Player 1 dribbles while zigzagging between the pillars.
- At the end you dribble back.
- Back at the start, grab the ball and make a maximum of 2 passes.
- During the last 2 passes, player 2 takes over the ball and dribbles the course.
- Repeat for 1 minute
- Warming-up for U16, where the focus is mainly on warming up in combination with a bit of ballhandling.
