Different options:
  1. Player under the basket, pass from the corner and player runs in. Quick scoring from close range.
    Make it more difficult by throwing first ball against the board/wall, then score.
  2. Player with ball on the centerline, 2nd player on the backline.
    Player with ball starts dribble and 2nd player chases and must first throw ball against the board/or wall for score.
  • Outward, the classic weave is run.
  • Back, the weave is run up to the center line.
  • The next 3 players ready to run the weave catch the current 3 players half court and a 3 versus 3 situation is created from which a score must always be scored.
  • After the score, the newest 3 players run the weave and the next 3 will catch these players half court for a 3 versus 3.

  • Players divide along the length of the field, so they stand on a sideline.

Exercise:
  • Players dribble to the pawns in the middle, there they hold the ball and pivot 5x.
  • Then they dribble on to the other side.
  • Once there, turn around and dribble with the ball as fast as possible to the starting point.
  • Then do it all over again.
