Number of exercises for novice archers:

• One hand behind the back, ball on hand above head and stretch out (pay attention to followthrough, backspin), catching the ball with the same hand again
• Shoot against the wall (again with 1 hand)
• Shooting against the board (e.g. 5 times with 1 hand)
• Distribute over the baskets, take as many shots as possible

2 rows, 1 ball per team

• Player scores, rebound own ball, and passes to next player in line
• Player who has scored runs to the other baseline to pick up a pilon and brings it back to the group
• Group with the most pilons at the end wins

• Requirements
  • Be able to dribble and stop in 1 time when receiving a pass
• Aim
  • 1 time stop (jump stop), jump shot with attention to technique of the shot and finish against the board
• Organisation
  • 1 passer in position 2, 
  • players dribble zigzag up to midline and then dribble to 1 position 
  • pass to 2
  • cutting inside until next to the ring, 
  • Receive the pass of 2
  • jump stop and finish with jumpshot.
    • Changing = finisher becomes passer, passer takes rebound and connects to baseline. Next player departs when predecessor has finished.
• Teachingpoints
  • correct stop in 1 time, 
  • finish via shot from shooting-pocket to the board

• All players shoot from multiple positions. 
• Can be a game with players at other basket. 
• For example: 10 points from each position. 
• Scoring of the position under the board also using the board. 
• Catch your own ball or give a good pass to the next in line. 
• Make sure you are ready to score as a shooter. 
• Use only 1 ball per basket

• With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has a ball.
• The middle one passes to a man and chases the ball.
• The receiver keeps the ball behind him and the one who passed first takes the ball and passes on.
• The person who has the ball behind his back runs behind the ball, picks it up at the receiver and passes on to the other side.
• They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
• If someone is close enough to the basket, the man plays a lay-up.
• Make variations on the passing lines

To improve shooting, the players practice the movement first without the actual basket. 

• They stand in position with knees slightly bent,
• hold a basketball with the strong hand under the ball and the other hand behind it. 
• The players bring the ball to the shot zone (in front of and above the head). 
• Next, the players push the basketball in the desired direction after which the hand and wrist move downwards (gooseneck). 
• If this goes well, the players can try to shoot in the direction of the basket.
• They can vary with place and distance.

The players practice the lay-up. 

• They divide themselves over 2 rows, 1 on the left side of the basket and 1 on the right side of the basket. 
• The first player of each row dribbles to the basket with the strong hand. 
• Then the player takes 2 steps, first with the strong leg, then with the weaker leg. 
• The player takes a jump with the strong leg and tries to throw the ball against the square on the board after which it ends up in the basket. 
• The player catches the ball and dribbles to the row on the other side and then ends at the back of the row to try it from the other side.

• Centers
• Starting from U16
• 2 or 4 centers
• 1 ball per pair
• a basket 

Aim:

• Defending a turn around jump shot
• box out after shot
• stimulate offensive rebound after shot

Organization:

• attacker turns around his axis and shoots
• Defender brings his body in front of the ball with a slide-step, as close as possible to the body of the attacker.
• keeps both arms straight up (= wall) so that the attacker has less view of the basket and has to adjust his shot slightly to shoot over the outstretched arms
• box out immediately after the shot
• A goal is 1 point
• offensive rebound is 2 points even after a goal
• each player defends 5 times in a row
• loser for each point difference: 2 push-ups

Teaching points:

• feet slightly wider than shoulder width
• knees slightly bent
• upper body and arms vertically
• NO batting movement towards the ball
• stand up against the attacker by moving towards the attacker (the upper body remains vertical)

Variant:

• attacker starts under the ring, with his back to the back line and gives a short bounce pass to himself
• attacker first makes a shoulder fake in the opposite direction just before the shot

Row under the basket, two in the center circle and two on the out.

• Row plays to Out (and runs straight to the other basket)
• Out passes to middle
• Center passes to the catching player. 

Aim:

• Elbow shot
• Outlet pass after scoring
• overhead pass from low post to elbow

Organization:

• rebounding after shot and stepping directly over the back line and taking the ball
• always follow the ball and take the next position
• set a target; e.g. 30 shots

Teaching Points:

• In the final step, bring the ball over the head and turn the face towards the field
• tight overhead pass to the outlet
• ask high for the ball
• Pass the ball in the shooting hand

Variations:

• left and right
• Fill waiting time at forward position with fake passes
• Vice versa: After scoring, pass to the elbow and shoot from the corner
