  • The player must come running in and play the ball, wherever he/she is standing, into the hoop at midfield.

Points can be earned in pairs. One side hits the ball and the other side tries to put a hoop where the ball lands. The first to get 5 points. Then swap

  • 2 rows of players
    • 1 row on the left back
    • 1 row at the right back

After 10 minutes we make it more difficult:

A block is added, the outside player closes the block diagonally (left hand at attacker's arm).

The blocker also gets points (touching the ball = 1, killing block = 2).

Make 2 teams of about 5 children. Each team stands on one side of the field. Place 5 balls on both 3meter lines.

When the trainer calls GO, everyone rolls the balls to the other side. Who has the least balls in their field after 3 minutes has won.

  • 9 hoops in a square (3x3)
  • each team has 3 ribbons, each team its own color
  • the first of each team runs to the hoops and puts down the ribbon
  • quickly back and touch the next one
  • the first player who has no more ribbons (they are already in the square) can move a ribbon
  • the team that has 3 in a row first, has won.
