Rules:

  • Each pair has 1 ball and takes turns shooting.
  • All teams start shooting at the same time.
  • Teams keep track of the number of goals they have scored.
  • Each team makes the same prearranged shots.


Game:

  • The game starts with each team having to score 2 goals.
  • The first team to do so calls to the trainer.
  • The coach stops the game.
  • Everyone who has 2 goals at that moment, goes for the next round for 3 goals.
  • All teams who have not scored 2 goals yet, start again with 2 goals.
  • Now the teams have different goals.
  • In the next round, each team must score one more goal than they scored in the previous round.
  • This continues until one team has scored 10 goals.
  • 1 pole with a pawn or ball on each side at 2 meters.
  • When using pawns, the ball is at the first pawn and the player takes it to the next pawn and puts it back there.
  • When using balls, the player puts the ball back at the original spot before going to the next pawn.
  • Player starts at 5 meter before the basket, on start signal player sprints to the first pawn/ball.
  • Player jumps back and forth as high as possible over the pawn/ball, catches the ball and scores from 2m.
  • If the goal is missed the player jumps back and forth over the ball again and scores.
  • If the goal is hit go to the next ball/pawn and repeat until the player has had all sides of the post.
  • Can make it a competition in various ways, increase the distance from 2m to 3 or 4m, instead of jumping left-right to front-back.
