• 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.

• We are going to work on two baskets and therefore also in 2 groups.
• (How many groups you make depends on the number of baskets. More baskets means more groups).
• Half of a group stands approximately on the center line on the right side of the basket.
• The other half starts on the left side just beside the basket.
• These persons have the ball and throw the ball to the person on the center line.
• This person dribbles the ball to the basket, makes a lay-up, catches the ball and joins the line next to the basket.

This drill will help develop proper passing and shooting techniques. This drill also emphasizes communication between teammates

1. Divide the team into four squads. One team on each block and one team on each elbow. Give each team one ball.
2. The first person in each line shoots and follows his shot, passing it back to the next person in his line.
3. After rebounding the ball, the shooter returns the ball to the line they were in and rotates clockwise to the end of the next spot. Rotations are shown in the diagram.
4. All four lines work as a team and keep track of the total number of shots scored.

• Emphasize to the players that communication is very important in this drill.
• Players must make game-winning passes and their shots must also be taken at game level.
• The time limit of this exercise can be changed from five minutes to whatever you like or number of shots scored
• Also the spots on the court where the players shoot from can be varied

• 2 numbers a few meters apart
  • x number of chesst pass
  • x number of bounce passes
  • x number of overhead pass
  • x number of bounce pass out
