  • 3 kids
  • 1 pitcher 1 defender 1 attacker
  • The thrower is ready with the ball.
  • As soon as the signal is given, attacker and defender leave.
  • The goal is to reach the attacker with an accurate long throw.
  • The defender tries to intercept.
  • Can be extended with a shot opportunity.
  • Meter shooting from 1 meter to about 4 to 5 meters.
  • If you hit the ball one meter further.
  • Everyone has his own ball
  • Attacker defender
  • Attacker starts running from the basket after the signal.
  • After the second signal defender goes after him.
  • Shoot as fast as possible because the attacker can pass the ball on signal 2.
  • 3 baskets
  • 3 teams of 2
  • Shooting together or all baskets, all hit is winner.
  • Expandable with different shot techniques.
  • E.g. walk-through-ball-backwards-from-behind-the-basket.
  • You can also extend the game by having the winning team score more than once. The winning team must score more than once until every team wins.
  • Sometimes it can happen that several teams are standing at 1 basket.

What people often try with the older youth is a trick under the basket.

  • There is 1 support with a defender
  • behind that a catcher with 1 defender.
  • The support plays off to the attacker in front of the basket, who first sprints to the side of the basket.
  • Depending on which way the attacker sprints to the other side, the catcher must run up but then around the support to get rid of the opponent.
  • The attacker plays under the basket to the released catcher under the basket.
  • 1 declarer throws the ball to the person in front of the basket then he takes a shot when the ball is caught under the basket he then goes inside and takes a walkthrough ball finally he takes a short chance afterwards.


Important: Tightplacement and quick release so that the ball can be walked on immediately.
