Passing/Intercepting
Passing games teach the kids on how to pass the ball in best possible way. The “Cross My Land” drill goes like this:
The white player and green player begin at the same time. They dribble through the areas and are joined by a defender blue. When the green and white players are in a similar territory, the blue players give them each other’s attacker.
Another game called “make space/come by” is where the attacker 3 passes the ball to 2, who assaults defender blue 1. Pass 2 – 1 who is on the left. In the meantime, attacker 3 goes for the right wing, but comes by to the pivot position, gets the ball from 1 and scores a goal.
Aiming/Throwing
The best game to learn aiming is “cone ball”. The setup of cone ball is simple and fun where two groups stand at opposite sides of the playing area and each player has a ball with a line of cones in the middle. Standing at a distance from the cones, players take turns to throw at the cones. Every cone that a player hits is a point for their group. When every one of the cones have been hit, the group with the most hits is the winner.
Bench Ball is another way to teach throwing to the juniors. It’s a short session of mini ball (played in a littler range than 1 third of the court), with 1 ball in a 3v3. Players score a point for their side each time they hit the opposite team’s bench. Players must pass the ball around inside their own half to make space for the shot at their opponent’s bench.
Falling/Rolling
To learn how to roll a ball, a player should play a game called “airfield”. Players circle the range, altering course consistently. One player is the flight controller and labels players who must be hurried to the arrival range between the cones. Once safely in touching distance of the crash mat, players should dive and land on the mat. In the wake of “landing” they then take off once more.
