The player underneath the basket begins with a ball and tosses if off the backboard, simulating a rebound. They then pass to the point guard on the wing and sprints forward, while the player on the wing dribbles with quick feet through the cones.

Once the player dribbling has reach the end of the cones, they will then pass to the player on the run for a lay up.
