Activity 2 End Zone: Time: 10 minutes
● Divide the whole space in quarters and set up four 3v3 games.
● The attacking team starts with the ball in their end zone.
● The attacking team must complete at least four successful underarm throws before they can score
(an attacking player must receive the ball in the opposition’s end zone to score 1 point)
● Once a goal has been scored, possession changes, starting from the end zone where the goal has
been scored.
● If intercepted, the team now in possession attempts to make at least four passes before catching
the ball in the end zone.
● Possession will be lost if the ball goes out of the area, is intercepted
or if any rules are broken (e.g. 3 steps and bounce, contact)
Support: No restrictions on the number of passes required before
scoring.
Stretch: Only one identified student can receive the ball in the end
Activity 3: Modified game Time: 10 minutes
● Divide students into teams of five to create a 5v5 scenario; one team wears bibs.
● Use a full basketball court; use cones to mark out the playing areas.
● The defending players mark the attacking players by utilising a man-to-man or zone approach.
● The attacking team needs to complete at least five passes and should aim to receive the final pass
inside the marked area at the opposite side to score points.
● Dribbling is allowed but passing should be encouraged.
Support: Decrease the number of passes required to complete a successful play.
Stretch: Increase the number of passes needed. Specify the type of passes to be used.

Activity 1: Gladiator Time: 15 minutes
● Set up two defenders per third
● One feeder stands at the side of each third of the space (white).
● These players are on the same team as the attacker (red).
● There are two defenders (blue) in each third.
● Using just half the width of the court, the attacker must work his or her way
down the court and receive three passes from the player at the side of the
court in each third without being tagged or the ball being intercepted.
Activity 2: The Take-Over Time: 10 minutes
● The court is divided into thirds as shown in the diagram.
● Two offensive players start with the ball in the first third.
● Another offensive player is assigned to the middle and one to the end third.
These players act as ‘feeders' but must remain on the sideline.
● If needed, the two offensive players can take advantage of their ‘feeder' on
the sideline if they need help evading the defender(s).
● As the offensive players progress down the court, each third contains an

● The aim of the offensive players is to incorporate different types of passes as they progress third by third.
● If defenders intercept or deflect the ball, the offensive team returns to the starting third and reattempts to take
over each third.
● The drill is performed for 30 seconds.
Support: Add extra attackers/defenders as needed.
Stretch: Set a time limit for completion.
Activity 3: Shooting and receiving from the circle edge Time: 10 minutes
● Divide the handball court in half.
● Three lines of shooters face the shooting area (red, green and blue).
● Position one feeder in each corner and one feeder on the edge of the shooting area.
● The feeders start with one ball each.
● The first shooter from each line runs towards the corresponding feeder, receives the ball outside the shooting
circle and takes a shot at goal.
● The shooters then collect the ball, give it back to the feeder and join the back of their line.
● Repeat this process for 2 minutes and then change the line starting positions.
