• Players stand in pairs (about the same size).
• On the whistle, the player with the ball dribbles to the opposite side while the player without the ball can do heavy defence.
• There may be physical pressure but no mistakes.
• Players stop when they have lost control of the ball or when the defence has taken it away.
• If the player with the ball touches the opposite side, he may dribble again in the next round but against a different defence.

• All children have a ball and a pawn
• Four benches are lined up one behind the other
• All children dribble and walk over the bench while carrying the pellet.

Variation: they now put the pylon on their head while dribbling. They walk next to the bench and dribble on the bench. You can make it more difficult by putting the pellet on the head and walking on the bench while dribbling on the ground.

This exercise is good because they have to dribble by feeling and cannot look at the ball, because then the pellet will fall.

everyone a ball, set up in large circle. 

Trainer shows exercise, players perform the exercise afterwards:

• Spread, roll the ball in an 8-shape between the legs (then dribble)
• Turn the ball around your waist, head legs (change direction)
• Dribble with left, right, change hands
• Make the whole group dribble evenly (rhythm-exercise, all in time!)
• Dribble between your legs
• Dribble behind your back
• Make a shot movement up (extend arm, reposition, catch)
• Spreading position (move the ball in 8-shape without touching the ground)
• 2 balls (at the same time, alternately)
• Reverse left/right (first forward, then backward)
• Between your legs (walk forward, 1x between your legs)

Requirements:

Players must be able to perform a layout from a bounce pass

Aim:

Learn how to create forward scoring opportunities for yourself

Organization:

4 players / quarter field, other players wait in center circle. Move over: offence becomes defence, defence goes out + new offence

The helpline is out: you can play with two groups of four on a basket and force the players not to use the space where the help is in the game.

(first perform the exercise several times without defense)

• guard dribbles up from the center circle
• at the same time, 2 makes a V-cut
• if 2 gets free, pass and 1 v 1
• if defender overshoots 4, then continue the V-cut to at least a meter
• above the three-point line and sprint backwards for the backdoor pass 
• and play 1 v 1
• All score out of:
  • backdoor
  • 1 v 1 from the wing

Mtm offense

• If you don't manage to pass to 2, 2 will sprint to the centre circle and get the pass of 1. 
• The cycle then starts again from the front, but now with 1 at the forward position.

Teaching Points:

• if you can see your defender's shoulder in the pass line at the V-cut, then there is overplay.
• and you have to take the defender up to at least a metre above the three-point line towards the sideline
• sprint at full speed as you go backdoor
• the backdoor pass is mostly one-handed, from the dribble with a flat bounce
