  • Nearest player takes the rebound, highest player runs away, middle player is guard. 
  • Forward runs to three-point line other side and then runs sideline - towards the ball and receives the ball.

  • Other 2 receive ball from baseline and also finish.
  • In return - blue sprints forward - to cone and returns to ball
