shooting and first timers
blue cones work together and red cones work togehther. The player on the blue cone at the top of the D starts with the ball. He/she then pulls the ball to the right, dribble and shoot. After the shot is taken he/she runs to the P-spot and receive a ball from the other blue cone. The shot is immediatly taken without stopping it. Same with the red cones after the blue cone group has hit the firsst timer ball they can start.
