1. Players up top take turns taking the 1 v 1 2. Players ("Monkeys") in the middle clear out to opposite side if 1 v 1 is taken from the LEFT or RIGHT, if player up top in the MIDDLE takes it, "monkeys" split to one on each side 3. Monkeys reset after each 1 v 1 attempt 4. Players down low stay dynamic, switch behind cage AND be an option if your defender slides to 1v1 5. Other players up top move away from ball to give the girl with ball the space to drive
-When taking the 1v1 SHOOT EARLY! Don't wait till 2 or 3 girls crash, if that happens pull it out and reset -Keep your head up when driving to see if any girls are wide open because their defender left to help -This is a chaotic play! Monkeys might not have a lot of time to reset between drives, so clear out fastest way possible to give the lane to the girls up top -Girls up top look for the draw and dump, give the girl with ball the lane BUT look to be the next option if your defender slides -EVERYONE be AWARE of your defender, if she leaves you then you are OPEN!!!
