5 players are ready at the free throw line coach stands at the free throw line

after the shot, the 4 catches the ball (hit or not) and takes it out on the other side of the board.

• 1 crosses by the shooter and gets the ball
• 2 is already running away
• 5 is already walking towards the post
• 3 runs to other wing, and gets pass from 1 with hard dribble to the ring.

After each action 2, 4 and 5 run in for rebound. 4 takes ball out again, 1 runs on line.

• First action is 4 takes ball out, and passes to 1, who dribbles to center and passes to 2 who goes with 1 hard dribble to the ring.

• The teacher selects 2 taggers.
• They have to stay within their box (within the 4 pilons) and tap the basketballs away from the runners if they want to cross.
• So the runners have to dribble to the other side without losing their basketball.
• If a runner doesn't have the basketball with him, he is finished and automatically becomes a tagger.
• A tip you can give to the runners is that they shield the ball with their body.
• This means keeping your body between the ball and the opponent.
• The runners are not allowed to cross again until everyone has tapped or reached the other side.
• In the end, as the game progresses, you get more and more taps and fewer runners.
• The last remaining runner is the winner.

• A runs in and (runs or around his/her axis and passes the ball to B or gives a sliding flat to B).
• B takes the ball open and gives a weighted push (a push that stops rolling) in the course of player C
• C takes the ball and accelerates to the pilons line without stopping or slowing it down (hip just in front of the left foot is the easiest way to do this) C the ball in the course of Player D 
• Player D runs through the ball and takes the ball strongly. He runs through one gives a backhand pass (FINGERS SPREAD) to E 
• Player E takes the ball at once and gives a bouncing ball in the course of F that takes and scores!
• Differentiation:
  • Player A must give a slide on B (let the ball slide off your stick)
  • Persist: you are chasing your ball

• 4 groups of players in each corner of the field.
• 4 cones in the center circle
• 2 balls on each sideline
  • player sprints to the cone
  • defence slide to sideline
  • running backwards (looking over shoulder to ring)
  • then the next player starts.
  • In a next step, after the defence slides, the player picks up the ball and finishes with lay-up. 
    • Take rebound and pass to next in line. 
    • player then dribbles to the cone and outside. 
    • Put the ball down there and then sprint back to baseline.
  • Then the exercise starts again.
