Players should look to catch the ball near the 7meter line and take off before the edge of the goal area line on their strong foot.

Once they've received the ball players must throw a jump shot before landing as far as possible inside the D

Variations:

3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)

The defender is trying to get around the cone quicker than the attacker so that they can get in front of them and hinder their shot (no tackling).

Once around the cone the attacker should aim to get a jump shot off on goal.
