4 poles and 8 players, each pole 1 contributor with a ball. 4 players start from the middle.

1 - Run through from the centre and immediately swap with the attacker, who is the first to score 10 points?

2 - Same exercise but now a run through (no shot), declarer pulls back and shoots. Who is the first to score 10 short chances?

3 - Addition to 2, from the middle a runthrough, stays behind (no shot), plays the ball again on the new incision and makes an evasion.

  • The whole group walks a circle around 4 baskets.
  • When the trainer calls 'yes', the person at the back of the line goes to the front of the line as fast as possible.
  • The children do this by doing a sprint.


After that/ alternation

  • Heels and buttocks, sprinting, lifting the knees etc.
  • When the trainer calls 'yes', the person at the back of the row starts running as fast as he can and then he can choose what he wants to do.
  • It must be something other than normal running/jogging, it may be sprinting.
  • Goal; to practice condition / tempo change in running
  • Everyone makes penalty throws until there are 2 or 3 left.
  • Everyone picks the person they think is going to win by standing behind them.
  • The winning team starts cleaning up and the losers have to run 2 laps first
  • Game form 4 teams, 4 baskets, 4 balls.
  • Goal is to defend own basket and score on other baskets.
  • Counting, most goals on basket is loser.
  • Goal; moving, tempo change.


  • Let the players figure out themselves how to do this tactically; discuss and communicate about tactics.
  • Stop the game a couple of times to discuss and emphasize the long ball / passing.
  • First of all we have a support and a catch and 2 attackers 2 defenders a few meters in front of the basket.
  • These two stand back to back.
  • They both sprint to a corner and the one who is best free gets the ball and shoots.
  • Alternatively, 1 attacker can be played and after that the ball is played straight back to the support for the through ball.
  • Make a square with 4 attackers and 2 defenders.
  • When the defender touches the ball, he may swap with the attacker in question.
  • The goal is to learn to pass quickly and accurately.
  • 2-0 is meant to get rid of the opponent and use your fellow players as a block,
  • Watch out for cutting off!
  • Extend the game by having a defender take over under the basket and having the attacker sprint away and make a distance shot.
  • 4-0 is the basis of every training.
  • After taking over the ball the players have to start from a starting position where space is important.
  • Possible to expand with pawns(4 squares around the basket) variant where kids can swap sections during free running(4-0).
  • When the group knows how to make the through ball, they can start with the technique with resistance from a defender.
  • Not only the pace of the run-up is important, but also cutting off the defender's running line.


  • A player is standing near the basket.
  • Two players stand next to each other at a distance of 6 metres.
  • One is attacker, the other defender.
  • The attacker starts for the walkthrough, but in the meantime the defender tries to defend.
  • The attacker must try to cut off the run of the defender immediately after the start.
  • This means that when the runner starts to the left of the defender, the runner passes the basket on the left side.
  • The runner therefore crosses the running line of the opponent
