- The player recieving the pass controls the ball and shoots
- Once the player takes his shot, the first player from the other group on the bye-line passes the ball and so forth
- Players should move in a clockwise direction
PROGRESSIONS
- Begin to limit touches taken by the player recieving the pass
- Move the position of the shooters to work on shooting from different positions
