Why it works: Players learn how to use a numbers advantage on offense and how to defend when they are outnumbered.

Set-up. 5 players along the base line. The middle player has a basketball. On the coaches command, all 5 players run to half court.

The Game - When all the players hit half court, they turn back towards the basket. The two very outside players 1,5 and the middle player are on offense. 2 and 4 play defense. They get one shot. Send 5 more to keep the game going fast.
