Double Teaming- Called "Jump"
Blue player will pass to the 2nd Blue player and runs to the yellow player and sets a screen.
As the the 2nd blue recieves the pass, the 1st red player will also set a screen for the yellow. and the other red will come into the key of the circle allowing space inbehind.
The yellow player then brushes shoulders with the blue player thats set a screen for him and run on the out-side of the perimite where shown and will recieve the ball where he can decide if he want to shot the three or ru to the basket.
Spread your body across each side of the opponent to give them as little a chance as possible to release the ball.
Don’t make contact but use your arms and wave in front of the body to block the pass but also to block their sight.
