BEGINNER 

• Place an empty garbage can in place of the net in the crease (if no garbage can is available, another option is aiming to get the ball into a basketball net - if in a school gym), in one or both ends of the floor. 

• Have players grouped in 4-6 lines depending on numbers (aim for 2-3 players per line if possible), with lines spread out evenly across the floor (north-south orientation).  Coaches should be behind the players actively collecting balls to help reload the players.  

• Lines should be an appropriate distance away from the garbage can, depending on age and skill level (generally 5 metres to 15 metres away).  Place pylons on the ground to mark the start of each line, where required.  

• *Variation #1 (5-10 min):  "Taking Turns."  On the coaches whistle all players at the front of their line lob the ball at the garbage can, trying to get it in.  The winner is determined in a sudden death format, although a one time rebuttal shot may also be permitted.  Everyone except the winner must do push-ups, sit-ups, body weight squats, sprints, etc.

*Most common error = players not using enough arc lob when passing
