  • As soon as player 1 grabs the ball, player 2 and player 3 sprint to the outlet areas.
  • player 1 then throws an outlet pass to either player 2 or player 3.
  • player 1, player 2, and player 3 now stay in their lanes and pass the ball up the court by passing the ball from sideline to middle to sideline and back.
  • The first pass received by either player 2 or player 3 beyond the half court line is taken on the dribble to the basket for a layup.
  • The player on the opposite side of the player making the layup hustles and contests the layup.
  • player 1 rebounds the shot and the drill is repeated.

Tips

  • This should be a continuous drill, with the players switching places, making sure everyone gets to try every position.
  • There should be no dribbling until the ball is across half court. And of course, the players should avoid travelling when passing the ball back and forth.
