The drill is named from the Spanish team Real Madrid – one of Europe’s finest teams in the 70’s and 80’s. It is a great drill after the first warm-up.
Place two players at both sidelines in line with each free throw line – that makes eight in all. And one under each basket with a ball.
This is how the circle runs:
The player with the ball passes to the player at the sideline (to the left or right depending on which way want to go round) – runs towards the basket in the other end receiving the ball again before the middle. He quickly passes to the first in line by the next free throw line, receives it and makes a lay-up.
After finishing the lay-up, He turns around and moves on in the same direction and lines up at the sideline. When he has received and made the pass he runs to the next position – sideline at the other free throw line. After this pass he runs for the rebound and begins all over again.

you can add two players at centre court. Facing the sidelines. This gives the person going the length of the court a third person to pass to.
