Trefball

  • Lay out a rectangle (16x8 meters? Depending on the number of players).
    • Divide into equal parts by a center line.
  • Divide the group into 2 teams, each with their field.
    • The goal is to eliminate the opposing players.
  • The ball must not touch the ground first, the 'defending' player is not out if he/she can catch the ball.
  • Round 1:
    • The player who has been eliminated may re-enter the field if someone else from his/her team was eliminated.
  • Round 2:
    • The player who was thrown out may re-enter the field when he/she has scored 4 times.
  • Round 3:
    • Same as the previous one, but now the eliminated player is placed behind the opposing team's field, and may try to pass from there.
    • If a previously thrown out player can hit someone from the back, he/she may be placed in the main field again.

  • Round 1:
    • Score 20 balls. (pawn exercises = slalom)
  • Round 2:
    • 10 shots 3-4m scoring. (Pawn exercise = 2 pawns forward, 1 pawn backwards)
  • Round 3:
    • Score 20 short chances behind the post. The sprinter is indicated and he plays back to the rebounder who stepped out from under the post (pawn exercise = hopping over the pawns).
  • Round 4:

Collecting vests

The objective of this exercise is to collect the vests before being knocked off by a soft ball.

  • Three cones in a triangle, on each cone lies a vest.
  • The other players form a circle around the cones, making it wide enough.
  • The player must collect all the vests, the others must try to hit them with the ball(s) before all the vests are collected. 
  • When a player is hit by the ball, he changes with a player from the outfield.

  • As trainer, decide whether to play with 1 or 2 balls. It is easier for a player to grab the caps if they are playing with one ball.
  •  The distance between the cones on which the vests lie can be increased or decreased. The greater the distance between the pawns, the more difficult it is for the player to grasp the vests.
  •  As trainer, make sure that players do not hit the ball too hard or from too little distance!

Shot - Pass ball

Organisation
: Two (or three) players per post. One player with ball in front of the basket at 7 meters.


  • The player under the basket pulls away
    • The ball is thrown to him (if the set-up is right, he receives the ball a bit diagonally).
    • The player in front of the basket comes next to him.
    • And makes a shot.
  • Same as above
    • Only now the player in front of the basket comes alongside again.
    • And makes a through ball from the space without the ball.
  • Same thing,
    • Only now there is no walkthrough,
    • But there is a threat for the walkthrough.
    • And the player without the ball runs long (away from the puller and parallel to the basket)
    • And takes the shot.
  • same,
    • Only now the shooter runs long again
    • And after walking the long line, comes through for the walkthrough ball without the ball.
Correcting for
: Shooting the right leg, shooting in line with the basket, good placement, shoulder to the basket when shooting

Through ball in + line

  • The blue lady under the post passes a through ball to the front of the basket.
  • The red lady from the right catches the ball and hands it to the red lady from the opposite side.
  • Then the blue lady at the back of the pile intercepts and passes the ball to the first attacker.
  • In this exercise blue and red are walking the same line.
Which of these two teams will score first 25 x
