Why it works: A classic full-court drill that teaches players to pass, run behind the pass, and finish with a layup.

Set-up. Three lines at the baseline. The players in the middle line each have a basketball.

The Game The middle person (#1) who has the ball starts by passing the ball to the side (this case to player #2 on the left). Player #1 that passed the ball then runs behind player #2. Player #2 passes it to player #3 and runs behind that player.Player #3 then passes to Player #1 and runs behind that player. Continue sequence down the court. Finish with a lay-up.

Player runs all the way around the court and continues.
