Set up: 

Half court, two balls, 5+ players

1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line. 

Description:

Note: The video shows the drill being played out with 2 groups of players, you could just focus on one group i.e. 1 line, 1 V driver. The description is based on one group. 

Player on base line near shooting post, V drives towards court edge and receives a pass from the player in the line with the ball. 

Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V. 

Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up. 

Full team cross drill

Set up: 8+ players, one court space, 2 balls.

Players set up in four corners in equal numbers, opposite lines facing each other.

Both balls start on the same side with the person and the front of the line.

Opposing front 2 players drive out on a diagonally and receive a pass from the opposite line.

They turn pass back to the side they came from (but the opposite line). Then immediately become a defender for the person who now has the ball. 

The person now at the front of the line, with the ball now delivers a pass to players who have driven out on a diagonal and the drill begins again. 

Feeder 1 has the ball. Worker runs out towards a cone, changes direction and sprints to receive a pass from the feeder.
