  • Player 2 runs out from under the basket
  • Player 1 plays the ball back to player 2
  • Player 1 takes the walkthrough ball

Doubles:

  1. Number 1 in front of the basket (6 meters),
  2. Number 2 with ball under the basket. 1 pawn left or right of the basket at about 4 to 6 metres.
  3. Number 2 throws the ball to number 1.
  4. Number 1 puts the ball on the ground and runs to the pawn and around it towards the basket.
  5. In the meantime, number 1 runs to the ball on the ground and passes it to number 2 for a deep pass.
  6. This is repeated until 8 balls have been made.


  • The pace is important:
    • The runners may not stand still, but you may not run too slowly.
    • The timing of the passing must be correct.

Pairs:

  1. Number 1 with the ball starts in front of the basket.
  2. Number 2 stands left or right in front of the basket.
  3. Number 1 throws to number 2 and then pulls away to the side where number 2 is not standing.
    • So number 2 is on the left side of the basket, number 1 walks to the right side of the basket.

    • so possibility of getting 2 points
  8. Change function.


  • The first to get 6 points wins (variation possible).
  • Is the sprinting too easy: add an extra pawn, which increases the sprint distance and for example makes a fast turn.





drawing Shoot and catch during the sprint competition
  • Player goes into pump-up position, with the ball in front of him.
  • Player leans on his left or right arm, with the other arm he will spin the ball around his supported arm, so 15, 20, 25,...depending on how good the player's condition is....
  • 1Minute
    1. Shot > 2
    2. Passage with ball > 4
    3. Shot > 1

shot-through-suicide-bridge


  • Ball is played from the other box to the very high running support player.
  • Just before the ball is received, it is run in from the side to the post.
  • This player is played on and makes a through ball.
  • The fourth player catches and plays the ball to the now run-through declarer.
  • High support player runs to the other box, the passer becomes the new high support, the shooter catches and the player from the other box becomes the shooter.
Score 20 through balls from the right and 20 from the left.
Indicate with the outer hand, the other hand is bothered by the defender.
drawing Walk-through ball from space with high support.

Objective:

Set up attacks in overtime situations

Rules:

  • Make sure the offense always has 1 more person than the defense (3-2, 4-3, 4-2 etc.)
  • Gives the offense a task:
    • E.g. score within 5 passes, score after setting up an action, score from the rebound.
  • Gives the defense a task:
    • E.g. intercept the ball within 5 passes, defend in front.
  • Decide if you can go for a defensive goal.
  • Indicate with cones where the lines are.
  • Agree when offense switches with defense:
    • After X minutes, after X goals, after X interceptions.
In this exercise it is hugely important;
  • That the rebounder also continuously drops the ball quickly because 1 attacker starts at 6 or 7 meters with a dodge ball and immediately comes in for the through ball.
  • Then a shot behind the post and then a shot to the side.
drawing Shooting from motion
  • Player A starts with the ball 2.5 meters diagonally in front of the post. Player B also stands 2.5 meters diagonally in front of the post.
  • Player A throws the ball to player B and player B throws it back. Thus they bring the ball up to about 8 meters in front of the post.
  • From there, player B starts for a through ball from the space indicated by player A.
  • However, instead of player B taking the through ball, it now enters the declarer and player A comes in for a clearance ball. Player B catches the ball.
A variation on this:
Only throw the ball when player B runs next to/behind the basket and player B immediately makes a shot. Player A immediately runs in to catch the ball.

There are more variations on this, such as:
  • Most goals in a time frame of, say, 10 minutes
  • Who scores 10 goals first
  • Make it more difficult by deducting a point for each ball on the ground.
  • Possibly with a 3rd player to rotate and keep a slightly slower pace.

drawing Shooting from space
  • Make a circle at the level of your head on the wall (with sidewalk chalk)
  • Make the circle about the same size as a basket.
  • Now stand 3 or 4 meters away from the circle.
  • Now throw the ball with your left against the wall and catch it with your right hand.
  • Do this for one minute.
  • The ball must not bounce on the ground.
  • If it is too easy, stand further away or try to throw the ball faster. If the exercise is too difficult, try to catch the ball with two hands, but still throw with one hand
    • Or stand a little closer to the wall. (Outdoors exercise)
