    Pass & Move:

    One player has a ball and another player starts in the middle of a cross-shaped set of cones. On the command, Red Player 1 moves to touch one of the cones before returning back to the middle to receive a pass from White 1.

    The player then has to touch a different cone before returning back to the middle to receive a pass. Once the middle player has touched all four cones then the player switch over.

    Pass and to the circle - shot relay | Shooting

    Pass and to the circle - shot relay:

    Player 1 will pass to player 2.

    After the pass player 1 will cut to the bottom of the circle, stop and cut straight up above the free-throw line.

    Once player 1 is above the free-throw line, player 2 will pass the ball where player 1 will catch and shoot.

    Player 1 will become the next passer in the corner.
