A 5 man weave a drill where the ball starts with the player in the middle they pass the ball of to a player besides them and then they loop around to the outside in the same direction they pass. they player that received the ball then becomes the middle player. they pass of to the other way then the previous player, this is repeated all the way up the court. they player that has the ball at the hoop the finishes by scoring. the 10 players are split up into 2 teams of 5 and compete to see who can complete this the fastest.
