Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and follows their pass. When they are just over half way towards player 2 they then make a sharp change of direction and cut out, running hard towards the cone where they will receive the return pass.
After receiving the ball player 1 should try and shoot as quickly as possible from outside the key, before then collecting the ball and playing an outlet pass to player 2 who has moved wide to receive the ball.
Make sure your players always know where the ball is, even when they are running away from it.
Progression:
Player 2 can make the pass at any point after player 1 has started to cut out.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
