drawing V-cut shooting
  • Everyone stands in a circle and start with 1 ball.
  • The first player calls out the name of the person he/she wants to pass to and only when he/she looks does the player give a pass of their choice; collision, chest, overhead.
  • If this goes well, you can differentiate to multiple balls.
  • 1 defender under each goal.
  • 2 groups at the center line.
  • 1 against 1 on each side of the field.
  • Defense stays put when scoring.
  • To score first 10 times.
  • Right and left.
drawing 1 vs. 1, full court
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.
drawing Three step king of court
  • 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.
