2 players work with 1 basketball. Players must catch and shoot on the move.

Once a player has shot they should catch their own rebound and pass to the other players.

Once the player has passed the ball, they should make a run/cut and then get ready to shoot the ball.

Set up as shown in the image.

1. Players will run to the first diagonal cone and close-out by chopping their feet.
   
   
2. They will then sprint to the cone at the half way line.
   
   
3. Once they get there, they will slide across the half way line to the other side of the court.
   
   
4. To finish they will back pedal to the baseline.

Players set up as shown in video clip. The line of players under the basket will each have a basketball.

1. A pass will be made from the line on the baseline to the line at the top.
   
   
2. Once the pass has been received that player will take a shot. The passer of the ball will run out and do a close out with their hand up to contest the shot.
   
   
3. After the shot has been released they will turn and box out to get the rebound.
