- Ball is in the middle of the Bucket.
- The defenders stand with their heels on the edge of the Bucket and the attackers stand behind the three-point line.
- When the coach calls "Go," the defenders provide good close out and the attackers go out of their way to get the ball.
- If the attackers manage to grab the ball within 5 seconds the defending side must do 5 push ups.
- After 5 turns of attack/defense.
- Run layups from the baseline.
- One side catches the ball and the other side makes a layup.

- Standard Lay-up over left and right.
- Lay-up with pass over left and right.
- Power lay-up over left and right.
- Get under the board and finish over left and right.
- Catch and Shoot.
All variations 15 hit over each side.

- The player takes his own rebound and runs to the right elbow
- The other players shoot one after the other
- The first player shoots from the left elbow
- ALWAYS spin-the-ball first before shooting
- Progression:
- Coach calls the next position (always left and right mirrored)

- Players divide among all available goals
- Sequence:
- 1 player moves around the bucket and shoots
- The rebounder has to finish if the other player misses
- The rebounder then passes back to the other player
- Each player takes 20 shots and counts how many he scores
- Progression:
- More shots
- Regression:
- Fewer shots
- Rebounding without finishing
- Make pairs.
- Player under the basket passes to the player on the free-throw line.
- The attacker has an advantage in time and can shoot freely.
- If the attacker scores or he has the offensive rebound he stays shooter, if the defender has the rebound the players switch positions.
- Who has the most scores after 3 minutes?
- Losers 10 push ups
- First Jumpstop, Fake and to the basket.
- Jumpstop, shot.
- Ball in the run and to the basket.
- Baseline dribble and finish with "wrong hand".
- 2 teams.
- Everyone a ball
- Shooting from 7 positions.
- When you have shot you go for your own Rebound, if you have caught your Rebound without the ball touching the ground you may score again immediately.
- 15 touches per position per team.
- So you can score 2 points at a time.
- Half Court shot, 1 hit no Rebound.
- Losing side receives a gift :)
- 3 Players.
- 3 pylons in between the 3pt line and center line.
- Coach shoots at the basket and the 3 players fight for the rebound.
- The player who has the rebound dribbles around the middle pylon and returns to the board to finish.
- Again the players fight for the rebound and the player who has the rebound goes around the middle pylon.
* 1 minute at high pace.
* The player with the most scores wins and the other 2 players 5 push ups.
* The player with the most scores wins and the other 2 players 5 push ups.
