3º A

A little about Basketball:

• Passes: 3 types

-Chest pass -Bounce pass -Overhead pass

• Court: 5 different positions1.Point guard: He/she brings the

ball and decides the play.

2.Shooting guard: she/he goes with

the point guard

3.Small forward: he/she knows how

throw far and near the basket.

4 and 5.Power forward and center:

normally they are the tallest and

they know how to shoot near the

basket. They are good defenders.

• Defence:

1. Individual: each player with her/his attacker.

2. In zone: each player has a position. If oneattacker comes with the ball, the nearestplayers defend him/her.

Warm up

1.GENERAL WARM UP

Cardiovascular activity:

Run, or running with lay ups (20 lay ups eachside - right/left hand-) for 10 minutes. At theend it’s better to speed up.

Articular movements: do all the movement for 20 sec.

Following the order. These are some, but there are a lot of that you can do.

1. The ankles (you have to bend them and then twist

them –ankles circles-)

2.SPECIFIC WARM UP:

-Circuit: with some shoots, springs, jumps and bouncing exercises.

-Braids: 3 player cross the court with somepasses doing a braid. The last one has to do a lay up or shoot the ball into the basket.

-Medicine ball: two teams. They have to passthe medicine ball to their team and try to leave iton the opposite line of the court. It’s like a match but leaving the ball on the line and with limitedsteps.

-Pilla-pilla: one player tries to catch the otherones, but all of them are bouncing the ball.-El pañuelito: this game is a little bit different. You make two teams, each one on different sidesof the court. They choose a number, dependingon the numbers of players in each team. Whenone number is said, the players with that numberhave to bounce the ball to the other side of thecourt and score. Then they have to keep bouncingand give the ball to the person that is saying thenumbers(coordinating the game)

Main part

1. Bouncing exercices: to learn to manage the ball (likepasses across the legs, bounce with left/right hand, withtwo balls at the same time…)

2. A match: 5 against 5. Here they practice some plays, thepositions in the court, blocks…

3. Competitions: in small groups, the players have to score a determined number of shoots in different possitions.

4. Improve the technique: like passes, or bounce the ball, changes, possesion…

5. Improve the physic: running and bouncing, jumpsthrowing the ball against the board of the basket, chunchs, jumping across a bench…

6. Learn new plays: new attack plays, new ways of defence, how to serve…

Cool down

Time to relax:1. Some games, like:

21 :a competition where you have to score, fromthe free throw line, before the person behind you, ifnot, you’re eliminated.

Bulb: a competition that consists of scoreing in each part of the court ( all the lines in the zone area + free throw line + triple line + behind the basket)

2. Stretching exercises for the legs, the arms and the back (like the ones you have done at the beginning)
