• Players set up like five points on a die- these are the feeders. 
• Workers start in the middle facing out to one of the feeders who has the ball. 
• Worker recieves a pass in the middle and passes back. They then drive on an angle towards the the far point on the same side as the ball ensuring they can see the ball and body angle is indicating where they would like the ball. Feeder sends a long pass to the point the worker is heading to.
• Worker then passes a long pass to the far diagonal feeder. They then front cut the middle point to receive another pass on the drive and pass back to the feeder. 
• Once again they turn body angle to see the ball as well as indicate where they are heading and drive to the last far point on the die and receive a long pass from the feeder. 
• Repeting again, the long diagonal pass and front cut for the pass in the middle.

Half court, two balls, 5+ players

1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line.

Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V. 

Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up.
