Players line up on both sides of the court with a ball in hand. They take it in turns to pass the ball to player 1 and then progress up the court.
As they move down the court the defender picks up the runner and passively shadows their movement.
The attacker must then move inwards before then sharply cutting outside to lose their marker, receive the ball from player 1 and make a shot on goal.
To begin with defenders should be fairly passive, allowing the attackers to lose them and receive the pass.
As the drill progresses though the role of the defender should increase and attacking players can decide whether to cut inside or out in order to make space in which to receive the ball in.
