- The player takes his own rebound and runs to the right elbow
- The other players shoot one after the other
- The first player shoots from the left elbow
- ALWAYS spin-the-ball first before shooting
- Progression:

- Make pairs.
- Player under the basket passes to the player on the free-throw line.
- The attacker has an advantage in time and can shoot freely.
- If the attacker scores or he has the offensive rebound he stays shooter, if the defender has the rebound the players switch positions.
- Who has the most scores after 3 minutes?
- Losers 10 push ups
- First Jumpstop, Fake and to the basket.
- Jumpstop, shot.
- Ball in the run and to the basket.
- Baseline dribble and finish with "wrong hand".
- 2 teams.
- Everyone a ball
- Shooting from 7 positions.
- When you have shot you go for your own Rebound, if you have caught your Rebound without the ball touching the ground you may score again immediately.
- 15 touches per position per team.
- So you can score 2 points at a time.
- Half Court shot, 1 hit no Rebound.
- Losing side receives a gift :)
