Steps

  2. 2Read the defender: if they stop the ball, pass; if they play the pass, score.
  3. 3Finish with a layup.
  4. 4Rotate the defender each rep.

Coaching points

  • Spread out to stretch the defender.
  • Pass early — don't wait until under the rim.
  • Attacker without the ball stays wide and ready.

Why kids love it

Scoring on a break feels great, and kids learn to 'read' instead of forcing a shot.

Variations

Harder
