Players are lined up in 2 lines near half way. 2 balls in rotation.  Player from one line runs out to receive a bounce pass from opposing line, players take a shot. 

Player 1 passes to player 2. After passing player 1 sprints cross-court to the cone to try and screen player 3.

Player 3 then dribbles inside before passing to player 1 who has the shot.
