    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.

    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.
