In this drill the players start in the tram line. With the coach feeding the first ball from the basket, the first player hits a controlled forehand back to the coach who in turn plays the ball in to the open court for the player to run onto the ball and hit a winner down the line. Player then runs around the cone and returns back to the queue.
As players move sideways they must take the last step towards the ball at contact.
In this style drill the players hit the 1st shot back to the coach (this shot should be controlled and accurate so the coach can then play the ball in to the 2nd position for the player to hit a winner or return the ball again). These type of feeds are only possible if the coach has a high degree of control over the playing of the 2nd or third shot so the player can follow through the drill and hit a winner.
