The first player in the bottom corner has the ball and he/she passes to the first person in the next corner and receives the return pass the person that passed the second pass cuts into the lane for the pass from the person in corner three. Each person makes two passes and goes to the end of the next line with the person in the last corner taking the lay-up.

  • When player 2 receives the ball, player 3 hustles over to contest player 2’s pass to player 1. player 2 must wait until player 3 is on him before he attempts a pass.
