Course 2 (Figure 2):
- The course remains the same; however, now there are only two defending players playing in a slightly smaller field (the defending team of two substitutes one player each after two actions).
The defending players must be willing to get into physical contact and to collaborate to prevent the attacking player from shooting, breaking through, or playing a pass.
The attacking players must move dynamically and must not dread to get into physical contact in order to score as many points as possible.

Difficulty level:
Minimum number of players: 3

Setting:
- Make teams of three, each team having one ball and 4 cones.
- The players stand as shown in the figure.

Minimum number of players: 3
Equipment required: 1 cone and 1 handball per group of 3
Basic setting:
- The players make teams of three; each team has one cone and one ball.

-
makes a forward piston movement (A) and
steps forward into the piston movement path (B).
-
passes he ball to
(C).
-
slightly moves backward in order to secure the cone and then immediately steps forward into the piston movement path of
(D) -> “triangle move”.
- Afterwards, the players repeat the piston movement and
receives the ball (E) etc.
- The players keep repeating the piston movement until one of them bounces the ball (
in the example). This is the starting sign for the subsequent 1-on-1 action.
-
now dynamically runs towards the cone (F) and tries to reach the cone in a 1-on-1 action (H).
