Once a players has been dispossessed they either get their ball and join back in or you can play a last man standing game to see who can keep their ball for the longest period of time.

COACHING POINTS

Ensure players keep their heads up to avoid collisions with other players and avoid the defenders!

Mini handball

Two teams, each with goalkeepers, play across a half-court sized pitch.

Play with normal rules.

219 supporting team mates/ blocking attackers

Run around Race - Jump Shooting

On the coach's call an attacker and a defender both set off and run around the cone.

The defender is trying to get around the cone quicker than the attacker so that they can get in front of them and hinder their shot (no tackling).

Once around the cone the attacker should aim to get a jump shot off on goal.

Variations:

3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)
2 step or even in 1 step
jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot
jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

318 jump shot far

Number game

Before the game starts both teams number themselves from 1 - 5 (or more dependant on number of players).

The team in possession must then pass the ball around in a numeric order whilst trying not to lose possession

The team in possession scores a point when all players on their team have had the ball once.

Meanwhile the other team tries to intercept the ball.

Shut Down - No Escape

Players stand with one player in the middle and five around the outside.

It's the aim of the outside players to pair up and shut down the middle player's escape route - using shoulder strength to box out the middle player.

Intercept and collect game

Three teams of three, only two teams have a ball though - these two teams are the blues and the greens. The teams with the ball are only allowed to dribble the ball and pass to players on their own team. The third team (white) tries to defend and snatch all the balls. If they are successful at intercepting or tackling the ball they take it back to their area (blue box). Once a team has lost the ball they go and collect a new ball from their area. How long until the white team has all the ball in their area?
