Different options:
  1. Player under the basket, pass from the corner and player runs in. Quick scoring from close range.
    Make it more difficult by throwing first ball against the board/wall, then score.
  2. Player with ball on the centerline, 2nd player on the backline.
    Player with ball starts dribble and 2nd player chases and must first throw ball against the board/or wall for score.
  • 2 tally on the back line (half court, also don't cross the middle (line basket/basket)
  • Dribble and defend (anything goes, stay in front of your man)
  • Up to the center line, change on the center line
  • You make 2 teams divided over 2 baskets.
  • Dribble around the post and pick a side.

Setup

  • Per 2 or 3 persons one basket


Execution (with 1 hand! other hand on the back)

  • Explanation shot, shoot from legs, wrist turn, 1 hand, backspin ball.
  • 1 meter from the basket, 1 shooter, 1-2 rebounder.
  • Shoot 3 times, then switch.
  • Then 2 meters.
  • Then side. (through the board)
  • Then side a little further away.
  • Players line up in 2 groups on the same side of the field (sideline).
  • Everyone except the first two in line have a ball.
  • The players without ball run to the opposite side of the field. (top of key) 
  • The first player with the ball dribbles to the 3 point line on the side where he is standing and passes the ball to the incoming player at the top.
  • When he takes the ball. (Swing the ball, fake, crossover, drive and finish with lay-up.)
  • The player who passed the ball runs to the other side of the court where his drill begins.
  • On one side L and other side R lay-up.
drawing cross-over + finishing lay-up L and R
  • 1 or 2 rows just below the board on either side of the basket. 
  • Make sure there are at least 4 players per row.
  • Ball is thrown against the board next to the basket and "tipped" into the tide by the next player (catch it two hands and throw it back to the board immediately). 
  • The third player catches this ball again, etcetera. 
  • After the action, a player closes behind the (other) row. 
  • The exercise is finished when a minimum number of successful tips in a row have been achieved (without the ball touching the ground).
  • Variation:
    • Players must pass behind the coach before they may rejoin the (other) row. 
    • The coach walks backwards slowly, which means they have to run harder. (This is a must with rows of 6 or more players).
    • The ball must be both caught and thrown again during 1 jump. (is quite difficult for smaller or weaker players)
    • Advice: 
      • This can also involve deducting 1 point in the event of a failed tip instead of starting again at zero.



  • Playing from 5 spots 
  • After each ball is taken, an action is made to the basket. 
  • This can be done in a drive or with a shot.
  • When the attacker is stopped by a defender, he passes the ball to the outside and cuts to the basket, via the baseline he mans a free spot in the corner.
  • When a drive is initiated, the defense can either go into help defense, which always leaves someone free at the 3-point line. 
  • When the defense does not go into help defense, the attackers must run free in order to be able to receive the ball when the driver gets stuck.
  • Important is the speed between receiving the ball and the drive. 
  • When the defense presses too high a cut to the basket can also be made to get free from his defender.
  • 3 against 2 with passing every time. 
  • Help each other in defense when someone is free. 
  • The attackers learn to use a man advantage and to finish. 
  • Speed, precision, good passing and team play are necessary here.
drawing 3 v 2
  • Everyone stands back to back. 
  • The first one throws the ball against the board, the rest time well each time to catch the ball in the air and throw it against the board again,.
  • The 20th throws the ball into goal. 
  • Do this both right and left. 
  • They walk around cone or coach each time and rejoin at the back.
drawing rebound exercise
  • Player stands on the wing position with a ball, in front of her there is a defender. 
  • An attacker and a defender are at the guard position. 
  • The attacker cuts in to the 6-spot and back up, the defender defends along with her. 
  • Once back up, the defender stands and the attacker cuts inside again and gets the ball with a good pass from the winger. 
  • He then finishes 1 to 0. 
  • Make it more difficult or easier by adjusting defenses or using more players.
