Type: Offensive transition, passing/receiving.

Description:

Players form three lines at baseline.

Player in middle line has ball.

Ball is passed in a weave pattern up the court.

Players cut behind the person they

have passed to (see diagram).

i.e., Pass and Go Behind and Cut to Centre

Player who receives ball near edge of offensive

key makes a hard drive to basket.

The other two players form a rebounding triangle 

and any missed shots are put back after the rebound.

After the made basket, the ball is grabbed, the player steps out of bounds and the

drill is repeated back down the court.

Variations:

1. Players can wait at end of court (rather than coming back) for rest of players in

     line to come down court and then all take in turns to come back in opposite

    direction. This way, the next three players can start when the previous three

    cross halfway.

2. Specify the types of passes to be made.

Points of Emphasis:

1. Sprint down the court.

2. Run the lanes - go wide.

3. Communicate - call for the ball.

4. Pass in front of the moving player.

5. No traveling.

6. Ball does not hit the floor.
