Precision throwing relay

2 teams

per team 2 poles opposite each other and at 6 meter from the last pole a loose basket on the ground.

Small chance on 1st pole; run to 2nd pole with ball penalty throw; from this pole throw 3 balls exactly in the basket on the ground.

After 3 unsuccessful attempts you may continue to the next post.

When the 1st is at the 2nd pole, nr. 2 may start.

Variation:

don't score with the ball but run around the post without the ball.
Increase or decrease distance between last post and basket on the ground.
So no 1 is at the 2nd pole no 2 at the 1st pole. no 2 throws in the hands of no 1. no 1 has to throw 3 balls in the basket on the ground. After that keep changing until everyone has thrown 3 balls in the basket.

Add to training

Start line-up
Two groups at the first two pawns.

Exercise
The first one in line runs to the basket lying on the ground and goes through it, so the basket goes over their head. Then he runs through the defence posture to pawn two and turns around it 4 times. Finally, he runs to pawn 3 and tries to score (3 attempts) before he can run back to pawn 1 and hit the next one in line.

Defensive stance:
Backwards and through the knees with your arm up.

Distance setup:
Hoop from pawn 1: 5 meters.
Pawn 2 from hoop: 5 meter.
Pawn 3 from pawn 2: 5 meter.
Pole from pawn 3: 4 meters.

A team like a train

The trainers have the children warm up in a fixed pattern (round or square).
The children run behind each other with some distance between them.
The child in front receives the ball from the trainer.

Variant 1

While running, the ball is passed to the next person in line by means of a throw (short pass), the receiver passes the ball to the next person in line.
The person in the back passes the ball back to the last thrower and the ball travels the whole route in reverse order.
Emphasise technique where necessary and ask which form of passing is most effective.

Variation 2

Similar to variation 1, but now the ball is passed backwards without looking (i.e. by feel).
The emphasis now is on catching and uncatching the ball.
The last player in line to receive the ball sprints with it to the front to start a new round.
So there is always someone else in front.

Extension
: To make it a bit more difficult, you can appoint 1 or 2 defenders who make it more difficult to throw and try to intercept.

Add to training

Warm up & Accelerate

The trainer tells the children to warm up in a section or around baskets. It is important that the children don't run too fast, because it is warming up.

When the muscles are warmed up, the trainers can add variation to the exercise. At a 'Yes' or whistle signal from the trainer, the children must respond.

Variations you can introduce:

Changing the direction of running
Sprint for a few seconds
Walk sideways
Cross pass
Tapping the ground (followed by jumping in the air)

Add to training

Get-the-ball

Inshort: exercises in catching balls that bounce or roll at the right moment.

Organisation: each team has a ball and a basket.

Three teams,
the declarator stands in the middle under the basket.
He rolls the ball a few metres away.
As soon as the ball is loose, the other two may run.
Who has the ball first, can make a turnaround or an attack with a pass?
After 3 substitutions.

Add to training

Warming up with baskets in a row

Divide your team into two teams.

You will stand by a basket per pair and follow exercises that your trainer indicates.

Exercises can be:

3 laps of passing balls (catch your own ball) (depending on the number of baskets you can make more or less laps)
3 laps in out shot (pass to the outside)
3 laps of short chance
3 laps pass balls late (take overhead)
15 dots per person (per 2 on 1 basket)
10 free balls per person (per pair on 1 basket)
10x shot from standstill
10x shot from movement (try on 1 leg)

Add to training

Relay

Start line-up
Two groups at the first two pawns.

Exercise

The first in line runs to the hoop and goes through the hoop from the bottom, so the hoop goes over their heads.
Then he runs through the defence posture to pawn two and circles this in 4 circles.
Finally, he runs to pawn 3 and scores before he can run back to pawn 1 and tap the next one in line.

Set-up distance:

Hoop from pawn 1: 5 meters.

Pawn 2 from the hoop: 5 meter.

Pawn 3 from pawn 2: 5 meter.

Pole from pawn 3: 4 meter.

Chair Dance

Put out a square of 20 by 20 with hats.
In the middle put balls (1 less than the number of players)
The players walk in circles around the hats
At the whistle they run in and try to get a ball

When you have a ball you can try to shoot (penalty throw - distance) and if you score you have a point, at every new round one ball less in the middle. The players who don't get the ball keep running.

Add to training

Tag the ball

Children run and throw the ball over within a defined area.

There is one ticker.
Who has the ball may not be tagged.
You may hold the ball for 8 seconds.
The catcher may not stay with the person with the ball.

Make it more difficult with several balls.

Add to training

Parties

Make 2 squares of 4.
The attack takes the ball from the trainers.
When the defence has intercepted the ball, they first pass it back to the trainers.
When a goal is scored, the team gets a bonus and can take the ball back out.

Do give orders, for example:

Start in a diamond. Let the ball go around 1 time.
The player in front throws the ball next to him/her one more time and catches it.
The other players continue playing. The player who has the ball now chooses whether he wants to throw to the left or to the right. The other players run to the ball to pick it up. The ball is thrown and the player immediately runs a long line.

The long line is nudged and the thrower comes alongside. The other player walks behind the basket to walk into the support. The other two are going to attack.
