Basketball: Pass and to the circle - shot relay

1 passes to 2. p1 v-cut and replace yourself. 2 pass back to 1. 2 & 3 back cut. 1 pass to 2 or 3. Rebound & rotate anti-clockwise.

Players work in groups of 3, with one ball per group. The ball starts on the side with two players. The first player in the line passes to the opposite side and then follows their own pass. The receiving player catches the ball and then also passes and follows their own pass. Drill continues. Players must move laterally from one end of the court to the other while performing this skill.

Player 1 dribbles to the cone before passing to player 2, and then proceeds to continue their run to the next cone. They then make a cut to receive the pass and then turn and shoot.

P1 is in triple threat position. P2 & P3 make a V-cut run looking to receive the pass from P1. P1 can pass to either side. After passing P1 looks to receive the pass back after making a V-cut run and then shoots a lay-up. P2 & P3 follow up for the rebound and then all rotate one spot anti so that the drill continues.

Setup the practice as shown. Player 1 starts with the ball with player 2 making a flash (sprint) cut to the elbow. Player 3 sprints to the cones in front of the before maing an L cut. Player 1 then passes the ball to player 2 who pivots and passes the ball to player 3 to shoot.
