Groups divided over baskets, 2 pylons on head bucket
try to get equal numbers so we can have a game

Set up on one side so players can run directly into each other (loser press).

You are only allowed to run on the lines of, for example, a volleyball field. The person who's 'it' must try to tag 1 of the runners.

Handicaps:

Outside you can set up a closed course with hats or cones.

Players at the baseline have the ball.
He passes the ball to the blue player and walks towards the other baseline.
He gets the ball back and passes it to the red player.
He gets the ball back and passes the ball to the orange player.
He gets the ball back and dribbles to the basket and finishes with lay up.
When the blue player has passed the ball he runs to the spot of the red player.
The red player to the orange player and the orange player takes the rebound and starts the exercise on the other side.
Variations in finishing and eventually close out and live defence possible.

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.

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.
