This exercise sounds simple but it certainly is not:
- The idea is for the player with the ball to get past a 100% giving defender in 3 dribbles.
- The scoring player stays put, misses then goes out and the defender may attack against a new person.
- The goal is for the player to give everything during this exercise.
- Here the attacker is forced to be explosive and use his whole body.
- Player A shoots from 10 different positions, with Player B rebounding and passing tight passes to Player A.
- 10x shots are made from each position.
- Both players take their turn.
- You have about 20 minutes to have both shot, if this is not the case there is a suicide.
- The goal of this exercise is to focus purely on your form.
At the end of the exercise you are asked which of the two has scored the most.
The losing player runs a suicide, should the score be forgotten, both players run a suicide.
The losing player runs a suicide, should the score be forgotten, both players run a suicide.
- Prior to the exercise, we first stretch and run a suicide.
- The ball is in the middle.
- Two persons run backwards on the starting signal to the back line, then first to get hold of the ball on the middle line.
- A 1-on-1 situation then arises here in which the person with the ball attacks and the other must defend.
- 2 groups at center line level.
- 2 players look towards goal.
- Coach throws ball towards goal.
- 2 players fight for the ball and play 1 against 1.
- 2-3 players catch the ball.
- The other players line up around the 3 point line.
- 2 balls.
- Players run regular layups.
- Coach stands under the basket and each time a player arrives, raises a specific number of fingers.
- The players must then get that number right.
- This teaches them not to look at the ball.
