Setup
Three-player teams, half court, and nobody is allowed to dribble.
How it runs
- The offence scores only by cutting, passing and finishing – the dribble is gone entirely.
- Play until the offence scores or the defence secures the ball; every out of bounds goes to the defence.
- A score keeps you on offence, a stop promotes the defence, and the beaten team rotates out.
- Each possession starts by checking the ball with the coach.
Coaching point
Set the cut up before you make it – a straight-line cut from a standing start goes nowhere.
