OFTEN USED WITH...

3 Man Motion Drill (ii):

1 passes to 2. p1 v-cut and replace yourself. 2 pass back to 1. 2 & 3 back cut.
1 pass to 2 or 3. Rebound & rotate anti-clockwise.

Shooting

1-2-3 and rebound:

Player 1 starts the move by passing the ball to player 2. Just as the first pass is being made player 3 runs diagonally in court in preparation to receive the ball from player 2.

Player 2 passes the ball to player 3 who has a shot from the edge of the key.

Meanwhile player 1 should have run up court and is positioned ready to receive the rebound if player 3's shot misses.

Shooting

Pass, Cut and Shoot:

Player 1 dribbles to the cone before passing to player 2, and then proceeds to continue their run to the next cone. They then make a cut to receive the pass and then turn and shoot.

Footwork and Movement

Pass, receive and Shoot:

Players pass the ball to the coach or a feeder just inside the key and run immediately after passing towards the basket.

When they are in a prime shooting position they should stop, turn and prepare to recieve a return pass.

As soon as the feeder sees the player is ready they should pass to the shooter who then attempts to score.
