Requirements:

• Mastering the basics of a break 

Aim:

• break training in a competitive situation 

Organization:

• 2 teams with different shirt colors
• the players all run around the circle
• as soon as the coach shoots they're gonna rebound
• the team that captures the ball runs a break on the other side (no shot within 5 seconds = push up + take out other team on the back line)
• after score or defensive rebound the other team runs a break back

Teaching Points:

• outlet position and pass
• flyer on the other side at full speed away
• execute at top speed
• After score, take in position immediately with overhead pass

Variation:

• two teams arranged alternately in 2 rows
• the players tip the ball to each other via the board (jumping and tipping like a tip in)
• and connect to the back of the other row
• at the signal of the coach, the team that is currently picking up the ball runs a break
• on the other basket
• the other team defends
• (with an odd number, the largest team always attacks and there is automatically an excess situation)

• Two rows at the centerline
• The first two have a ball - Right
• From the center line you dribble to the basket:
  • Layup (15x hit in a row, a player under the basket catches the ball and counts, play again if the player didn't count)
  • Shots from bucket (7 in a row)
• The player under the basket starts when the dribbler starts.
• Coach goes further and further back.

• Players in a row on the free throw line or for U10 and U12 a bit closer to the basket (put down pilons).
• First two players have a ball.
• Player 1 tries to shoot. 
• When the ball is thrown, player 2 may also shoot.
• If the player misses, go for the rebound as fast as possible, try to score from the area where the rebound is picked up (if it is behind the baseline, dribble in a bit).
• If player 2 scores before player 1, player 1 is finished and is not allowed to play again.
• After a goal is scored, pass as soon as possible to player 3 plays so that he can 'kill' his predecessor.
• Connect yourself at the back of the row.
• Play on until there is 1 player left. 
• Note that the player who has to be played has to get out at the right side to be able to play. And that the scorer rebounds the ball as fast as possible and plays it back with a good tight pass.
