• A throwing or shooting spot 2 m from the wall or hoop

A hoop with open space under and behind it. Two chalk footprints at a slant to the basket on the right: right foot, then left. A ball.

Three minutes to get warm.

Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.

1. Stand at the first chalk footprint, the basket ahead and a little to your left.
2. Take the ball as your right foot lands.
3. Step with the left foot and jump off it, right knee up.
4. Reach up with the right hand and lay the ball softly against the top corner of the square on the board.

Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.
