OFTEN USED WITH...

Three man switch to shoot and score:

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the court and plays the ball to player 2 who cuts in to the first cone.

Player 2 must then pass to player 3 who has also made a run inside to the other cone further up the court.

Player 1 in the meantime should loop on the outside behind player 2 to receive the ball back from player 3 and take a shot.

Shooting

V Cut - Towards the ball progression:

Player 1 passes to player 2 who makes a run towards where they have just passed it before making a "V Cut" into the space. All players repeat this process to keep the practice rotating.
