As an exercise, play basketball while walking, but have the ball passed to the inside hand and throw with it.
Pay attention to the shift of the body weight on the inside leg and the correct crossing of the other leg before throwing.

Add to training

The players play the ball behind their backs towards each other.
As with the pendulum throw, the body is slightly rotated (when thrown with the right, the left shoulder should be closest to the fellow player), keep the distances small in this exercise.

Add to training

The ball is caught with the left, passed to the right and thrown with the right.
The ball will start to spin like a 'figure eight'.
After 20 times catching with the right, transferring to the left and throwing with the left, the ball will start spinning.

Add to training

The players throw the ball alternately high, low, with a bounce or at chest height.

...prepare for the ball to come.
Eyes on the approaching ball.
The arms are stretched out towards the ball;
the wrists are slightly bent backwards;
the fingers are spread and point upwards;
The body reaches slightly forward.
At the moment of ball contact, the fingertips touch the ball first;
the thumbs and slightly the index fingers are behind the ball,
so that the ball cannot shoot through.
the speed of the ball is slowed down by bending the arms.
The ball comes to rest in front of the diaphragm.
Especially with 'hard' passes, it is useful to place one foot in front of the other while catching.

Knees slightly bent; torso slightly forward.
bodyweight above both feet.
the ball is held at chest level with the fingertips; thumbs behind the ball.
the elbows point backwards and are not too close to the body. eyes directed at the goal.
By extending the arms and the back leg, the ball is pushed away and guided for as long as possible; the ball leaves the hands via the fingertips.
At the end of the action, the palms point outwards and the thumbs downwards;
this is caused by the forceful folding of the wrists.
The body weight is transferred to the front foot through the entire action.
The pass is often supported by a step with the front leg in the direction of the goal.
The chest pass can also be performed in a sideways direction; pivoting in the direction of the goal is necessary for this.

The teacher divides the room into two squares by placing benches on the centerline of the room.
Then the teacher makes 2 squares with pawns to catch up the right of attack.
During this game the rulebook is used.
See module basketball for this guide.
The teacher divides the students into teams of 3, possibly with a substitute.
See the tables at the bottom of the lesson preparation for the game schedules.
The intention is that the team that has the ball (on the map team 2 & 3) try to score.
To be able to score, the team must first get the right of attack.
They get this right of attack when they arrive with the ball in the area of the pawns.
From now on the team may score.
They do this by shooting the ball into the basket.
The other team must try to take the ball away from them.
When this happens, the teams swap roles and the new team with the ball has to get the right of attack and try to score.

There are rows of players on both sidelines.
The front player of each row has a basketball.
These players dribble to the sideline on the other side and play the ball with a bounce pass to the second player in the row who is now automatically in front.
The first player closes in behind and the second player now dribbles across.
The players practise the overhead pass (with 2 hands, from above the head) and vary the distance
Players stand in a circle with 1 player in the middle.
One player starts and throws the ball with a chest pass to the player in the middle.
Then the first player runs after the ball to the middle.
The player in the middle throws the ball to the next player in the circle and then runs after them etc.
The players stand in a circle and pass the ball to each other.
They are free to choose who they throw to and which pass variant they use.
To make the exercise more difficult more basketballs can be used.
