• The other team defends.
• With an odd number of players, the larger team always attacks, creating an automatic numerical advantage situation.

• Everyone stands in a line, one behind the other.
• The first player throws the ball against the backboard.
• The rest of the players time their jump to catch the ball in the air and throw it against the backboard again.
• The twentieth player throws the ball into the basket.
• Repeat this on both the right and left side.

• Divide the team into three groups of four players each. One group stands on each baseline, and the third group is in the middle of the court. Players in the middle spread out along the midline.
• At the whistle, the players in the middle run to the baseline and ask for a ball. The player catches the ball, shoots at the nearest basket, and retrieves their own rebound.
• The player who passed the ball runs to the other side of the court for a pass from the other baseline. The rotation continues.
