Competition form.

• 2 groups against each other.

• 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.

Feint exercise

• Walk towards the defender, move your left foot to the left, as if you were passing the defender on the left
• Immediately afterwards, move your left foot to the right and get the ball very low from your left hand to your right hand, so that your back is facing your opponent
• Now dribble on and score with the lay-up

• 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
• When defenders are too static and stand by an attacker, you can do 3 things
  • Or force the defenders to run by telling at least one of them to run towards the attacker with the ball
  • Or tell the attackers they can take 2 steps.
  • Or draw a square on the ground where the attackers can move.
  • After 5 attempts, the defenders change with 2 new defenders.

• We are going to work on two baskets and therefore also in 2 groups.
• (How many groups you make depends on the number of baskets. More baskets means more groups).
• Half of a group stands approximately on the center line on the right side of the basket.
• The other half starts on the left side just beside the basket.
• These persons have the ball and throw the ball to the person on the center line.
• This person dribbles the ball to the basket, makes a lay-up, catches the ball and joins the line next to the basket.
