  • Whichever two/three has 15 goals (optional) first.
  • 3 groups at pawns
  • Run to the hoop
  • Through there, through to pawns
  • walk across footbridge
  • jumping over stick

Per 6 at the basket:
  • 2 attackers with one defender each and 2 free attackers.
  • The defenders try to prevent the rebound of the attackers
  • As soon as the rebound is found, one of the attackers may shoot + 2nd chance
  • How do I prevent the rebound?
  • What is the right way to do this?

With a 3 at a post.

Player 1 stands under the post with ball.
Player 2 starts the exercise, after player 2 has done the exercise switches with the pointer.
Player 3 starts the exercise etc..

For this exercise we need 4 hats, a post, ball and the rope ladder.


  • Short passes through the rope ladder, then continue to the first hat.
  • The movement is to the left but the first 3 hops are with your right leg. the hop from hat 3 to 4 is landing on your left leg.
  • Then you move back with your left leg. the last hop is to land on the right leg then sprint to the pole for a through ball.
drawing Hop, run, finish.
The chaos game is fun for younger children, but can also be played with older ones.

  • In the chaos game, the idea is for each child to have a ball, and 3 to 4 poles (also depending on the number of players)
  • Line up in a row.
  • Each player starts at the same pole,
  • There is a countdown and then they all start shooting,
  • If they score, they move up one pole,
  • If they don't score, they stay at the post until they do.
  • You can agree in advance whether they have to pass each pole 1, 2 or 3 times depending on the level.
  • Variation: you can use pawns to mark a circle outside of which the players must shoot,
  • They may enter it only to catch the ball.
  • Materials below are for 4 people (hat = pawn)
  • Goal to practice the free ball under pressure with the give-up position on the side.
  • 3 people per post.
  • Emphasis should be on passing to the side and not under the post.
  • Make your own estimation when you switch.
The goal is to score 125 times per team all together in the following 5 tasks. After each assignment there is an intermediate exercise for variety:

  • Assignment 1: Walk-through balls: score 30 x
    • Exercise 1: 20 sit-ups
  • Assignment 2: Front basket shots from movement: score 30 x. Change every 3 shots!
  • Intermediate assignment 2: 20 push-ups
  • Assignment 3: shots 6 meters sin around the basket with intermediate pass: score 30 x. Exchange after 2 shots So play in and get back.
    • Intermediate task 3: 30 squads
  • Assignment 4: penalty throws: 2
  • Intermediate task 4: 30 jumping jacks
  • Assignment 5: Back basket shots from movement: 25 . Rotate posts 180° if necessary. change every 3 shots.
This exercise is best performed with 12 people.
Divide the group into 4 triplets.
The groups will play 3-on-3 with the defending side being given a specific task:
  • Group 1: Defending behind with pressure within the 6 meter zone on the ladies;
  • Group 2: Forward defending;
  • Group 3: Give 100% Pressure on the gents and the ladies are going to try to steal balls;
  • Group 4: Gives 1 gentleman and 1 lady 100% pressure. The remaining team members should support both.
  • 1 attacker and defender stand in 1/4 of the basket. The other 3 attackers and defenders do the same.
  • The attackers may only stand in 1 box by themselves with the defender. There may never be 2 attackers in 1 box at the same time.
  • This way they will play 4-0 and after each pass they have to switch squares by the one who threw.
  • After that you can always extend it to 3-1 if it is too difficult. For example, by setting up a catch or give-up.
drawing Boxes 4-0
  • Players start on the back line in 1 row.
  • Each line is numbered from 1 to 7.
  • I call a number each time and they have to sprint to it.
  • Vary between forwards and backwards.
drawing Condition
Per 3 players at the basket:
  • With pawns, divide the attacking area around the basket into 4 "areas".
  • There are players in 3 of these 4 areas.
  • When player white passes the ball to player blue, player white moves to the free area.
  • Player blue plays through to player red and then also fills the free area.
  • Give a signal on which may be shot. The other 2 will fill in the rebound from the space. (In the D1 we do this by first setting up a support and then making an attack from the support. This may be from distance or through ball, Let the players think for themselves who best fills this position).
  • Then play out again and repeat.
