Pass and Move:

Player starting with the ball has to have an empty cone to one of their sides.

After passing the ball to the player on the next cone they have to run and touch the cone in the middle and run out to the empty cone.

The 2nd player does the same and the exercise should be able to continue round and round.

Extras

2 on 2 - Transition Drill:

Two players (blue) with the ball start from the half way line. They're playing against Red 1 and Red 2.

After the attackers have had their shot the 2 defenders must box out and claim the rebound.

Once the drill is complete players rotate:

Attackers become the new defenders, the defending pair leave the court and swap with a new pair who are the new attackers!

Continue until every pair has had a go.
