• If you succeed, you sit down and you've won.
• As an extension of this, in two minutes you have to make as many lay-ups as possible with your group.
• At least 3 balls per group so you don't have to wait for the ball.
• The lay-up must at least have a two step rhythm otherwise it does not count.
• Approximately 4 to 5 minutes.

• The attackers are not allowed to move from their spot.
• They play the ball around and if they get the chance, they try to score
• The defenders have to run They try to prevent a goal from being scored

• defender takes the charge or forces the dribbler to the side of the pitch

• One person shoots free throws.
• Two other players stand behind the one who throws the free throw.
  • According to the rules of the game
• Once the ball is gone the three players go for the rebound.
• If the person who made the free throw has the ball, he can make another free throw.
• If he doesn't have the ball, the 2 other players go to the other side of the court to attack, 2 against 1.
• If attacker is pressured by defender then go to free man, otherwise keep going until lay-up.
• The next three players get ready to execute the exercise.

• Players stand ready at the halfway line. The first one has a ball (then 2 without the ball).
  • X1 makes lay-up
  • X2 takes rebound and passes in (after scoring!)
  • X3 runs around the pot and starts defending
  • X1 and X2 attack to the other ring

Requirements:
players must be able to run a lay up from a bounce pass

Goal: learn
how to punish the overplaying of the forward by an aggressive defense

Organization:

• guard dribbles up from behind the centre circle
• at the same moment the centre 4 comes to the elbow
• and player 3 sprints to the pawn
• 1 passes to 4 with a bounce pass
• 3 sprints to the basket with a sharp change of direction and speed
• and receives the bounce pass from 4

Rotation:

• 4 grabs the rebound
• and takes the ball on the back line

Variation:

• 1 pretends he is going to put a screen away on the weak side, but cuts to 4 for a hand off
• takes the shot
• OR plays pick and roll with 4

Teaching Points:

• Sprint to the pawn: when passing, you as the attacker must take the defender well outside the three-point line to make enough space for the backdoor.
• 1 has to feint immediately after the pass to be in time for the hand off.

• The player gets the ball thrown to you
• Do a crossover and shoot the ball at the first position
• Do the same at the second position
• And so on
