Player A cuts inside to take a through ball and Player B throws it to him/her. Player A catches his/her own ball and moves to Player B's position, etc.

To make it tougher, you can have the person indicating the ball catch it himself/herself.

As a quieter exercise in between:
  • 2-tal shoot under the post until the 11
  • then the 11 again and back to 0.
To make it more difficult you can subtract 1 per miss or per time the ball falls to the ground.
By 3 at a basket.
Step 1:
  • Player Red defends Player Blue.
  • Player Blue has the ball and then throws it to Player White and runs deep and shoots.
Step 2:
  • Follow Step 1 and after Player Blue runs deep, Player White rushes in for a giveaway.
  • Player Blue goes for a pass through Blue.
  • Player Red continues to defend, but allows the through ball.
Take the goal attempts as calmly as possible
drawing Walking Deep Lines
Circuit training where one station is rotated through every 2 minutes.
Possibly adjust assignments to number of players.
At each station, shoot from a different spot to score. Per 2-team.

Examples for distances:
  • 2.5 meters in front of the post.
  • 2.5 meters behind the post.
  • Distance shot.
  • Side shots.
  • Top-handed through-balls.
  • Underhanded through-balls.
  • The player goes down the speed ladder from the left side to the center. There the ball is ready on the ground,
  • This ball is played inside and then the person who ran the ladder runs around the ladder and cuts inside with speed.

  • Player A starts in front of the post with a shot until he/she scores.
  • After a goal to next point.
  • If missing; run back and forth to previous spot and shoot where you missed.
  • Finish the round.
  • This can also be done without running up and down.
drawing Shooting around the pole
  • Player A starts with the ball 2.5 meters diagonally in front of the post. Player B also stands 2.5 meters diagonally in front of the post.
  • Player A throws the ball to player B and player B throws it back. Thus they bring the ball up to about 8 meters in front of the post.
  • From there, player B starts for a through ball from the space indicated by player A.
  • However, instead of player B taking the through ball, it now enters the declarer and player A comes in for a clearance ball. Player B catches the ball.
A variation on this:
Only throw the ball when player B runs next to/behind the basket and player B immediately makes a shot. Player A immediately runs in to catch the ball.

There are more variations on this, such as:
  • Most goals in a time frame of, say, 10 minutes
  • Who scores 10 goals first
  • Make it more difficult by deducting a point for each ball on the ground.
  • Possibly with a 3rd player to rotate and keep a slightly slower pace.

drawing Shooting from space
  • Player A starts with the ball 2.5 meters diagonally in front of the post.
  • Player B also stands 2.5 meters diagonally in front of the post.
  • Player A throws the ball to player B and player B throws it back.
  • Thus they bring the ball up to about 8 meters in front of the post.
  • From there player B starts for a through ball from the space indicated by player A.
  • Player A also runs in after it to catch the ball before it bounces on the ground.
Variations:
- Most goals in a 10-minute time frame.
- Whoever gets to 10 goals first.
- Make it harder by taking a point off every ball on the ground.
- Possibly with a 3rd person there to rotate through and keep a slightly slower pace.
drawing Walk-through ball from space
  • Ball is played from the other box to the very high running support player.
  • Just before the ball is received, it is run in from the side to the post.
  • This player is played on and makes a through ball.
  • The fourth player catches and plays the ball to the now run-through declarer.
  • High support player runs to the other box, the passer becomes the new high support, the shooter catches and the player from the other box becomes the shooter.
Score 20 through balls from the right and 20 from the left.
Indicate with the outer hand, the other hand is bothered by the defender.
