      TU 11-1 Warm-up/Stretching (10/10)

       Course:

      - Make two groups.

      - Each team is assigned a leader. The leader runs ahead and shows exercises which the other players must copy.

      - Upon the coach's whistle, the next player becomes the leader and shows exercises.

      - The players perform stretching exercises together.

      TU 11-2 Short game (15/25)

       Setting:

      - Four players each stand under a basketball basket with two basketballs.

      - Define a throw-off (penalty) line for each basketball basket.

      

The game is very exhausting, as the players have to move permanently.

       Course:

      -

starts the course and shoots at the basket from the throw-off line (A).

      → If

scores right away, he fetches his own ball (B), passes it to

(C), and lines up again.

      → If

does not score right away (H), he may fetch his ball and try again (J). While doing this, he is allowed to freely change his position.

      - As soon as

has shot at the basket,

steps forward and immediately makes a shot at the basket as well (E).

      → If he does not score right away either, he may also fetch his ball and try to shoot at the basket.

      → If

(E),

is disqualified.

      →

still fetches his ball however and passes it to

.

      →

quickly fetches the ball after shooting at the basket (E), passes it to

, and lines up again (F).

      - The course is repeated until only two players are left (G).

      - Now, a scoring player (H and J) fetches his ball quickly, runs towards the throw-off line immediately and shoots at the basket again (K), until one of the two players scores before the other one. The player who scores first gets a point and the course starts over.
