Basket Dance

To make the run-throughs a little more fun, we'll make it a contest!
  • You put a number of baskets in a circle with one passer on each occasion.
  • There are also more players than baskets in the middle
  • Every run through counts for 1 point
    • If you score a run-through, you take your turn
    • If you miss the follow-through, you and the server swap positions
  • The first player to score 6 points wins. Number of points to be determined on what the players can do.
variation:
  • you can do different sizes of baskets and give them a different score
    • for example an archer basket counts for 2 points

Away ball

Objective:
  • A combination of moving, passing and shooting
  • An easy exercise to teach a pull away ball
Description:
  • The player at the post pulls away, gets the ball and shoots.
    Directions you can give:
    • all in quick succession
    • good tight pass
    • do not pull away right behind the post, difficult for a good pass
  • The passer goes to catch the ball and there is a change of position
Variation:
  • The catcher may shoot 1 more time himself if he/she catches the ball without colliding

Conditioning Exercise

  • In threes or twos to the basket.
  • There is constantly 1 person working for 1 minute, ideally 2 people for the rebound.
  • There are pawns/slip dots in a square around the basket, about 4 meters apart.

  • Player 1 starts at the first pawn, walks in for a through ball.
  • Then walks out to the second pawn and takes the shot there.
  • Goes to the third pawn and makes another through ball there etc.
  • After 1 minute it is the next player's turn.

Explosive swerve

  • The focus in this exercise is angles running, many players run in corners, making it easy for opponents to keep up.
  • The idea in this exercise is to force angular running lines. A lot of explosiveness is required from the players, so the exercise is quite tough.
  • Place 4 markers in front of the basket, angled towards the basket about 3/4 meters away. A declarer stands under the basket and player goes x number of goals/minutes/actions running lines using the markers.
    • Multiple combinations are possible. Should there be a third player, he/she can rest or possibly do a strength exercise such as Jumping-jacks, sit-ups, planking.

  • Start pawn behind -> forward -> left -> right -> player comes to shot.
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the right -> to the left -> player makes a shot
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the right -> to the left -> to the right -> player reaches shot
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the left -> to the right -> to the left -> player reaches shot
  • Start pawn in front -> To the back -> To the left -> To the right -> Player makes a shot

  • You can possibly extend the exercise with a long line, through a marker 3/4 meters behind the basket. After a running combination, above, the player runs to the back and takes a shot. Mirrored is also possible.

Shot after lateral movement

  • We work in threesomes
  • Two players under the post and one halfway up the box.
  • Play the ball forward and sprint after it.
  • The player in front throws the ball to the second player under the post and runs sideways.
  • The ball is placed on the running player and he/she shoots.
  • Under the post is caught and the shooter there becomes second player.
  • We score 10x left turn and 10x right turn.
  • The pace of the exercise should be high to reach competition level.

Who scores 5 points first?

You stand in pairs on a pole
  • 1 in front of basket at shot distance
  • 1 player is rebounder/forward
The rebounder gives a pass to the attacker standing at shot distance.
  • if the rebounder can catch the ball without it colliding he may shoot
    • if the ball bounces first, the shooter can continue playing
  • this way all players play against each other to score 5 points for the fastest score.

1 x 1 with defender

  • Attacker and defender ready for the post. Offender under the post with ball.
  • Defender moves up post.
  • Play 1 x 1 until attacker has scored 1 time. Defender always tries to be there.
  • The post of the defender who got the goal against gets penalty.
  • Defender goes back to own post.
  • Passing

Shot and core stability circuit

  • Start with 1 leg in the ladder, other leg in the ladder and then next to it the legs alternately out. Rhythm in-in_out-out.
  • A defender walks backwards in the opposite direction. After the ladder, take a through ball.
  • Jump forward over the hurdle with both legs and then sideways over the other hurdles, make a sideways move to the right, get the ball and score.
  • Go through the speed ladder with a ski move, at the end get the ball and shoot directly.
  • 2 hat forward, 1 hat back, make a run-through move, get the ball and play the declarer, who steps out.
  • 5 sprint back and forth between the two hats 2x, make a penalty throw.
We work with 3 or 4 teams and each exercise lasts 4 minutes.

Hurdles with fallback ball

  • Declarant at the pole with ball.
  • Place the hurdles in front of the pole such that the nearest hurdle is 3 meters from the pole
  • Jump over the first hurdle and sideways over hurdles 2 and 3, then make a swerve to the side
  • Get the ball and score 10x right and 10x left

Swerve around the basket

  • Work with 3 or 4 teams per basket.
  • The players move in and out continuously from 5 meters.
  • The player with the ball chooses 1 of the outrunning people and throws the ball in tight.
  • The player who gets the ball shoots, the declarer catches off.
  • The ball is played out and the others make in/out moves again. Now another is played on, who shoots immediately.
Goal of the exercise is: continuous movement, being ready to shoot and tight passing.

Rebound practice

3 per basket
  • 1 shooter and 2 rebounders behind or to the side of the basket at 3 or 4 meters depending on level
  • Of the 2 rebounders, 1 is attacker, 1 is defender: the one closest to the basket is the defender
  • Shooter in front of the basket calls "yes", at that moment both rebounders may move towards the basket to take the correct position.
  • 5 rounds, then switch positions.
Points of attention:
Pay attention to lining up attacker/defender in rebound, properly blocking out opponent

Variations:
  • The one with the most rebounds starts shooting.
  • Shooter goes to intercept and may pass to offensive rebounder for short chance if shot is wrong

Shot and through ball with timing

3-counts per pole. Rebound, follow-through, shooter.
  • The shooter gets the ball played to her and shoots from about 6 yards out on motion
  • As soon as the passer thinks the ball can be caught, she goes for the breakthrough and takes a through ball
  • After the follow-through ball, the shooter, keeping her player busy, i.e. on the move, is played to and shoots
  • As soon as the passer thinks the ball can be caught, she goes for the breakthrough and takes a follow-through ball
  • After 3 shots, there is a change of positions - shooter becomes rebounder, rebounder becomes passer and passer becomes shooter.
  • Which 3-team scores 25x first?
