  • Distance shot
    • Shoot 5x and you must hit 2x.
      • One hit means you have to sprint back and forth across the width of the field once.
      • A 0x is sprinting twice. Not hitting the basket twice is also sprinting.
  • Take evasive action and move the ball to the other hand and make a through ball.

  • Practice free balls with pairs.
      • Each 5x, of which 2x hit.

  • Per foursome 20 walk-through balls are scored.
  • Then one player gets an opponent and combines with threes around the basket.
    • A player without an opponent plays the ball and the player with an opponent tries to score via a walkthrough or small chance.
    • As attacker with opponent you have to keep your player busy and bind them to the ball.
    • So switch between width and depth lines.

    • And swaps places with the player under the basket.
    • In front, the ball is passed back to the new player and the other player exchanges with the player under the basket.
    • You may not hold the ball longer than 2 seconds.
  • We run 4x 2 minutes and there is always a half minute rest.

  • Work with threes.
  • The ball is played under the basket and you run forward.
  • You get the ball back and you shoot.
  • The third player catches the ball from the side and passes it to the outgoing player.
  • They pass the ball back to the attacker and so on.
  • Score 10 times from the left side and 10 times from the right side
drawing Walk/Shot circuit 2
  • 9 or 10 players per section. 
  • The baskets are in the corner
  • Under each pole stands a server with the ball.
  • You have to pass the ball from the centre and catch it yourself.
  • The server runs to the right pylon and then sprints to the centre.
  • From there they look for a free basket and make a run through.
  • The exercise is finished when everyone has scored 20 times.
drawing Walk/Shot circuit 1
  • Around the basket are 4 hats at about 3 meters.
  • At 5 metres there are 4 hats of another colour.
  • In the small square stands the rebounder and outside the big square stands the shooter.
  • The shooter shoots from outside the lines and must hit 5 times.
  • The winner is the one who scores the 5 goals in the least number of turns.
  • The winner then plays against another winner and the loser against another loser.
drawing shot and rebound
  • Each pair a basket and a ball.
  • One of the two teams has a ribbon on his head.
  • So you have a team with and a team without a ribbon.
  • One player is the shooter and the other the catcher.
  • Alternately a player with a ribbon and a player without a ribbon stand under the basket.
  • We all start shooting at the same time.
  • When a goal is scored, you change places.
  • The team that is first under the basket has won.
  • So if all players with/without a ribbon are under the basket, you've won.
  • 4 posts in a square.
