Why it works: Small numbers mean every player touches the ball and makes decisions at both ends of the court.

Set-up. Form two lines under the basket. And two players out on the court.

The Game - Triangle Rolls the ball out to one of the X players (doesn't matter which one). Once X get the ball, the two triangle players come in and they play 2 on 2. After one shot, play is dead. They triangle players now start out in the court, and two new triangles start by rolling the ball out.
