The layout will contain two players at the top inline with the key and two playing defence on them, with two players on the wings inline with the free throw line, with two players defending therm. the ball will start with one of the two players as the top and that player will pass the ball across too the player on the other side at the top. once that player has recieved the ball they will crossover and beat the defender as the defender is beaten the defensive player on the wing player will step across and play help side. once the ball has been driven and the defender has been beaten the offensive player on the wing will slide down to the corner awaiting the ball as his defender is playing help leaving the corner player open, so the ball is passed to the corner and either a dribble to the basket and layup is taken or a dribble pull up or a catch and shoot 3 point shot is taken. if the defwensive player gets back across from playing help in time before the player shoots or gets too the basket and stops a score, then the balol is passed back to the top and the play will go live into a 4 on 4 until a defensive rebound is made or a score. Once that has happened the ball will swap sides and repeat the process, the team on offences will have 4 possessions so that each player can change position and play in a different position in offense and defense and after 4 possesions the defence will switch with the offense and they will have 4 possessions.
