Basketball: Three man switch to shoot and score

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...
Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the court and plays the ball to player 2 who cuts in to the first cone.

Player 2 must then pass to player 3 who has also made a run inside to the other cone further up the court.

Player 1 in the meantime should loop on the outside behind player 2 to receive the ball back from player 3 and take a shot.

COACHING POINTS

Player 2 and 3 should follow up for any rebounds.
