Black is coaches. Start with all players under the basket in a line. The first two players go. The first is on offence (blue), second is on defence (red). They both run to the free throw line led by the offence. The coach points either way and the offence player explodes to that elbow and receives the pass. From then it is a 1 vs 1 to the basket. First to 3 points win. a point for a score. Then change partners. Now offence is second in line and defence is first in line. Defence faces offence and walks backwords. When the coach points same applies as before. Defence is to try and recover and get back in front of the offensive of player.
Explode to the elbow. Quick decision on the catch. Be aggressive. Defender stay low and react quick to the change of direction.
