• Whichever player has 25 scores first.
• Then next players.

• All players a ball, trainer a ball.
• Players in circle around trainer.
• Trainer shows off, players imitate:
  • Ball around waist, first left, then right --> eventually as fast as possible.
  • Pass the ball through the legs in a figure of eight, first to the left, then to the right --> eventually as fast as possible.
  • Bounce the ball from front to back through the legs and catch it at the back. Then bounce from back to front and catch.

  • Player in the corner passes ball to next player in line.
  • Catcher becomes player in the corner.
  • 15 scores.
• Next:

• Points of Attention:
  • Pay attention to correct two-count rhythm.
  • Pay attention to correct hand. (left lay-up with left hand)
  • Make sure that tight passes are made, in front of the man (so that the receiving player does not have to slow down in her movement to the basket).

Introduction (good jump stop).

• After a few times:
  • When trainer calls GO, make a good jump stop, pivot backwards and walk the other way.

With passes

Performance

• Jumping rope: 
  • 2 minutes of normal (forward).
• Mountain climbers: 
  • 15 seconds.
• Skipping rope: 
  • 2 minutes alternating: 
  • left front, right back/right front, left back.
• Mountainclimbers: 
  • 30 seconds.
• Skipping rope: 
  • 2 minutes alternating: 
  • left leg, right leg.
• Mountain climbers: 
  • 45 seconds.

• 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.

• 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.

      
      

• Start with three on the baseline.
• You run from cone to cone until the coach throws the ball against the board.
• Nearest player takes the rebound, highest player runs away, middle player is guard. 
• Forward runs to three-point line other side and then runs sideline - towards the ball and receives the ball. 
• Dribble to three point line - ball to trailer who pins and spins + finishes.
• Other 2 receive ball from baseline and also finish.
• In return - blue sprints forward - to cone and returns to ball
• Red takes last ball and passes to front. 
• Guard sprints forward and receives the ball from the blue and finishes.

• 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.

• 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.
