Is the space marked?

• A throwing or shooting spot 2 m from the wall or hoop
• Chalk lines for the lines game
• Two cones 5 m apart for dribbling

A baseline and a ball each.

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. Walk forward holding the ball.
2. Jump stop: a small hop, landing on both feet at once, knees bent.
3. Choose one foot as the pivot foot and keep its front on the floor.
4. Step round with the other foot, turning, while the pivot foot only spins on the spot.

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

1. Walk or dribble forward while your arm is up.
2. When the arm comes down, catch the ball and jump stop on both feet.
3. Pivot on one foot, turning half round and back.
