Shooting

Split the group into two teams.

Shooting

Cut out, cut in and then shoot:

Player 1 passes a long ball to player 2 and follows their pass, moving towards the sideline, before then cutting inside the court towards the cone to receive the return pass from player 2.

Player 1 then drives to the basket and shoots or performs a lay-up. After this they collect their ball and play an outlet pass to player 2 who has run up the court in readiness for the pass.
