Play will begin with three `attackers` looking to combine and two defenders screening and sliding. When they decide to, one attacker can look to threat in behind. When this is done, the defenders have to drop and look to protect the space in behind which the attackers are looking to penetrate. If the attacking players get in they try to score, defenders can recover and look to get blocks. They can work on sliding, screening and distances, as well as when to press/drop.
