Triplets with a ball.

• Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
• Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
• Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)

• Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
• Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.

• 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

1. Player with ball, other player standing at a cone.
2. Player step-slides to other cone and receives pass, passes back and step-slide back to previous cone.
3. After 30" change

• free play on 1 or 2 baskets,
• depending on the number of players.
• NO dribbles only passing.

• Set up a course with running boards, bridges, hoops and cones and have the kids dribble down the course.
• You can make it as difficult as you like. The child who completes the course in the shortest time wins.

• 
  With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has the ball
• The middle passes to a man and runs after the ball
• The man in the middle passes to the man on the other side, who also runs after the ball.
• They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
• When someone is close enough to the basket, the man runs a lay-up.
• He becomes the defender and the other two attackers must try to reach each other with a long ball.
• The goal of the defender is to prevent the attackers from scoring.
• If the attackers do not manage to score, they must do 5 push-ups.

• 3 teams of 3 players
• 3 players in the middle
• Attacking
• Defense up to the center line, even after ball loss

• 2 players on offense.
• 2 players on defense.
• 2 players at the free throw line.
• 2 players at the level of the other free throw line.

1. Play 2 against 2 until there is a score or stop.
2. Defense gives outlet pass to player at height free throw line.
3. These go 2-for-2 to other side of the court.
4. Offense becomes defense and returns.
5. Defense goes to height free throw line.

• The idea is for the player with the ball to get past a 100% giving defender in 3 dribbles.
• The scoring player stays put, misses then goes out and the defender may attack against a new person.
• The goal is for the player to give everything during this exercise.
• Here the attacker is forced to be explosive and use his whole body.

• 2 rows in the corner of the field, diagonally.
• The 1st player without ball goes running, the 2nd player gives baseball pass.
