- Players gather at the baseline in 2 groups, 1 player stands under the ring with ball, 2 players stand on the opposite side ready to defend. Player with ball dribbles over, players left and right run along the sideline in attack.
- Defense is free to choose whom to defend, active D, no taking position in or around the bucket.
- Player who finishes or loses the ball attacks together with the 2 defenders.
- On the other side of the court, 2 new defenders are ready to play.
- The players line up in two groups on the sideline near the halfway line.
- The first 2 players of the red group line up on one side of the field and have the ball.
- One player of the blue team lines up on the other side.
- As soon as the attacking team crosses the centre line, the 2nd player of the blue team runs around the cone in the centre circle and starts defending.
- Attacking players try to score before the 2nd player gets there.
- 2 rows on the baseline.
- Front player of one row without ball.
- Player without ball walks around the pylon, receives pass from front player of other row and makes lay-up/shot.
- Catch the ball from the back of the pylon.
- Player who passed the ball goes around the pylon and gets the ball.
- Adjustments:
- Move the pylon further and further away.
- Make 1 row.
- Players in the line take turns having a ball.
- 1st player makes layup, 2nd in lij rebound, both connect behind.
- Adjustments:
- Pylon on left or further away.
- Square formation, 2 balls.
- Player passes and runs diagonally to the other row.
- Receiving player passes on.
- Balls thus go around the sides of the square, and the player crosses only diagonally.
- (1 passes to 2, 3 passes to 4, then 2 to 3 and 4 to 1)
- Four pylons, rows with 1 ball.
- Player with ball dribbles to the middle, jump-stops, pivots (right foot, turns to the right) and passes.
- Connect behind in row to which you pass.
- Variation:
- Pivot to left and pass.
- Observations:
- Make a good jump stop.
- Create square, 3 against 2.
- Team of 3 must pass X times without dribbling.
- Points of attention:
- Pivot well, protect the ball, pass well, stay calm.
- If someone gives bad pass (arc pass) then whole team push up.
- Start at the centre line with 3 x 2.
- Attackers may only pass and lay-up from a pass.
- Variations:
- Bounce pass only.
- If attackers don't score, or pass poorly --> push up.
- Let defenders stand a few times, work together.
- Divide players into groups of 5.
- Normally we have 2 or 3 baskets available.
- For example, every 7 minutes turn over, first center explanation. (most guidance on the dribbling skills needed)
- Station 1. (Basket 1)
- 3x2 play from the center line without dribbling (only passing, free running, pivoting)
- Station 2. (basket 2)
- 1x1 play (substitution, attacker becomes defender, occasionally change the order to get different match-ups, 1-shot attempt or under time pressure to keep up the momentum)
- Station 3. (Basket 3 - if available)
- Shooting exercise: 5 positions on edge of bucket (low, elbow, free throw line, elbow low).
- 1 player shoots, others catch and pass the ball (1 shot per position, highest score of the group)
- Station 4 dribbling skills. (1-2 pawns)
- Over the pylon (do not take it with you, keep control, from left to right, 1 hand behind your back)
- Lift the pylon with the left, dribble with the right (throw the pylon, catch it with the other hand)
- Left/right and touch pylon (timer, counting) - hand that releases the ball must touch pylon (low position, defend the ball)
- 2 pawns, dribble left, touch right
- 2 cones (8 dribble with 1 hand)
- Station 5 dribbling skills. (row of pawns)
- Slalom around the pawns, low dribble, back and forth (tempo)
- Variant: low dribble, feet on both sides of the pawns, cross after every pylon.
- Low dribble, always touching the according pawns.
- Stay in control, stay on the same side. (dribble left, touch pylon with right)
- 5 against 5 half field. (Depending on turnout, at 20 and 3 baskets possibly)
