Basketballexercises
- All players start in the middle.
- Then, (in this example blue) zigzag through the pawns ( make a crossover to the outside hand at each pawn)
- Then, a right or left lay-up is made.
- The ball is rebounded and the player walks to the mat.
- At the mat, the player rolls the ball in front of him,
- Then he/she does a head roll around the mat, then stands up
- And runs after the ball, jumping towards the ball.
- After the ball is caught, the player runs back toward the middle and joins behind 1 of the 2 rows
Note: Only do this in a safe environment where there are no obstructions from obstacles and people.
- 1 player outside the bucket (slightly higher than elbow)
- Baseline player passes the ball and attacker may go only after defender taps
- Note: attacker may not go through the middle (paint), drive him to the sideline or to other side
- Speed it up: only a few dribbles
- Put down 4 pylons
- 2 players with ball under the basket.
- Throw ball against board and pass oullet (get ball back, pass again and make layup)
- Last passer takes rebound and starts with ball against board.
- Pass behind the back (pass at the same time)
- Players facing each other (throw ball up), other player passes, pass back and off own ball)
- Same exercise but now with clap (clap hands)
- Pass exercises opposite each other (1 bounce, other chest)
- Pass exercise (get out and pass with one hand, opposite)
Spread over the baseline (with the ball)
- Tap, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping, lying on stomach, planks
- After the whistle, sprint to the center line...then run out to other back line.
- There, do the exercise again.
- If necessary, have the last team do push-ups (tempo).
Everyone a ball and spread over the length of the field
- Dribble back and forth (jump stop, pivot across, or keep on dribbling)

- 2x left, 2x right
- Roll the ball on the ground (make 8)

This exercise is designed to defend the cutting-in man.
- 1 passer in the center circle with defender
- 1 attacker and defender at forward positions
- Guard starts dribbling and passes to forward (lets the ball arrive, then defends full on forward)
- At that moment, the defender makes a jump-to-the-ball
- And runs along in denial --> guard cuts in from the strong side
- Duos facing basket on starting line with man with ball behind, bounce left or right.
- First takes ball and shoots, then with cross dribble. Up to 7
- Then with back to basket, shot at elbow, then with cross and then with cross and turn

- 2 players with ball under the basket.
- Throw ball against board and pass oullet (get ball back, pass again and make layup, then goes to other side)
- Passer runs to next pylon (preferably 2 men per pylon)
- Last passer grabs rebound and starts with ball against board.
