Purpose

Players learn to make the right pass in fast break situations.

Drill Setup

  • Begin with three lines evenly spaced across the baseline, similar to a three man weave.
  • On the opposite side of the court, place two defensive players – One standing under the basket, one at the foul line.

How it Works

  1. Begin in a three man weave. Once the ball reaches halfcourt, it becomes a live game of three on two. The play continues until the ball is scored, rebounded, or turned over.
  2. The offensive player who last touched the ball (made shot, missed shot, or turnover) sprints back to the opposite end of the court. He is now on defense. The two other offensive players remain.
  3. The two players who were originally on defense now come back up the court and attempt to score. It becomes a live game of two on one.
  4. The play continues until the ball is scored, rebounded, or turned over.
  5. The drill restarts with the next three offensive players in line.

Coaching Tips

  • Players should attempt to score quickly (3 passes or less), simulating a real fast-break situation.
  • Players should move the ball up the court by passing, not dribbling.
  • Players should talk on defense.
