DESCRIPTION

Players line up at the half way line. The first player in the group starts with the ball.

Player 2 stands on the left hand side of the court and player 3 stands at the corner on the right hand side.

Player 1 passes to player 2, fakes to go the other way and then goes towards the ball and receives the return pass.

Player 1 pivots (use front or reverse pivot) and passes the ball to player 3 before then performing a V cut towards the other side of the court, stopping and then pivoting towards the ball to receive the pass from player 3 and executes a lay up shot.

After the lay up shot player 1 plays an outlet pass to player 2 and then goes to replace player 3. Player 3 replace player 2 who then passes to the next starting player and goes to join the back of the queue.
