  • Setup
    • Behind the korf, there is a square measuring 3x3 metres. The attacker moves within this square to create opportunities behind the korf.
    Execution
    • The defender attempts to prevent the attacker from taking a shot.
    • The other attackers have free play and may move anywhere on the field.
    • The attacker in the square makes a move without the ball and tries to take a shot.
    • The challenge is to see how often the attacker can successfully shoot within 2 minutes.
    drawing Utilising space behind the korf
  • Execution
    • Sprint from cone to cone and back to the centre.
    • Walk calmly in a circular motion through the cones and back.
    • Sprint again to the cone and back.
    • Take a running shot at full speed.
    • Repeat this until you have scored three times per person.
    Variation
    • Sprint forwards and take a running shot.
    • Sprint backwards in a defensive stance and take a running shot.
    • Repeat this until you have scored three times per person.
    drawing Sprint and running shot training
  • Setup
    • Place 2 posts opposite each other with a distance of 12 meters in between.
    • Position 2 shooters in the middle, 6 meters from each post.
    • Place 2 rebounders under each post.
    • Position a cone on the other side of the posts, 8 meters away.
    Execution
    • The two shooters start by shooting at the korf.
    • The shooter who scores 3 goals first taps the other shooter on the back.
    • The winning shooter sprints to their cone and makes a running-in shot.
    • Then they return to the cone for the next running-in shot until 3 running-in shots are scored.
    • The losing shooter first sprints to their opponent's cone, then to their own cone before they can start with the running-in shots.
    drawing Quick start: shot and running-in shot
  • Setup
    • Place two baskets opposite each other at the match point.
    • Lay hoops on the centre line, one fewer than the number of players.
    • All players stand with a ball on the centre line.
    Execution
    • Give the players a task, for example: make a short-range shot within 2.5 metres.
    • After completing the task, players run to the hoops.
    • The player who is last to stand in a hoop is eliminated.
    • Remove one hoop each round and repeat until only one player remains.
  • Objective

    • Improve defensive skills by defending the first pass.
    • Promote offensive strategies by creating opportunities within 10 passes.

    Execution

    • Play in teams of 4 against 4 or 3 against 3.
    • The defensive team is tasked with defending the first pass and intercepting the ball.
    • The offensive team must attempt a goal within 10 passes.
    • An interception by the defensive team earns 1 point.
    • A scored goal by the offensive team earns 3 points if it is a shot; running-in shots and short chances count for 1 point.
    • A shot from 5 meters or further counts as a shot for 3 points.
    • Play a maximum of 3 minutes per round.
  • Execution
    • Place a hoop between two players. Player A has the ball and passes it with a bounce to Player B.
    • Ensure both players are standing on their toes during the passing.
    • On the coach's signal, the passing stops. The player with the ball runs away to reach the finish line, 6 metres behind them.
    • The other player tries to intercept the ball before the finish line is reached.
    Objective
    • Reach the finish line with the ball to score a point.
    • Intercept the ball to score a point.
    • Optional: If the ball is intercepted, the player with the ball must run back to their own finish line to encourage more movement.
    drawing Hoop passing game
  • Execution
    • Play 4 versus 4 or 3 versus 3 with a specific defensive assignment.
    • Defend the first pass to prevent the opponent from attacking.
    • The attacking team plays freely and looks for spaces themselves.
    • The task for the attacking team is to attempt a goal within 10 passes.
    • Play for a maximum of 3 minutes per round.
    Scoring Rules
    • Intercepting balls by the defense counts as a point.
    • Goals scored by the attack also earn points: a shot counts for 3 points, running-in shots and short-range opportunities count for 1 point.
    • A shot from 5 meters or more counts as a full shot.
  • Execution
    • Form trios at a post with one passer and two shooters.
    • The shooters stand next to each other with their feet touching.
    • The exercise can be adjusted for different levels by using cones to regulate pressure.
    • If the pressure is too high, have the defender run around a cone before reaching the shooter.
    • Alternatively, the exercise can be performed with a hand clap or a tap on the back for less pressure.
    Objective
    • Improve reaction time and acceleration.
    • Increase the pressure on the shot.
    • Maintain enjoyment in the exercise.
  • Execution
    • Player A stands under the korf in the support and rebound position.
    • Player B positions themselves at a cone 3 meters in front of the korf.
    • Player B jumps into the ball, depending on the direction of the pass (left or right), and takes a shot on one leg.
    • Repeat the exercise until Player B scores twice in a row.
    • After achieving two consecutive scores, the players switch roles.
  • Execution
    • Person 1 passes the ball to person 2.
    • Person 2 passes the ball to person 3, who is running deep.
    • Person 2 continues to the moving rebound.
    • Person 2 passes the ball out to person 3.
    • Person 3 throws the ball to person 1, who is running deep.
    • Person 3 catches the moving rebound.
