- 3 Rows on the baseline.
- The middle player has the ball and starts the weave with the 2 outer players.

- Outward, the classic weave is run.
- Back, the weave is run up to the center line.
- The next 3 players ready to run the weave catch the current 3 players half court and a 3 versus 3 situation is created from which a score must always be scored.
- After the score, the newest 3 players run the weave and the next 3 will catch these players half court for a 3 versus 3.
This is a high tempo drill:
- One shooter to the left and one shooter to the right of the Bucket
- The rest of the players stand under the board with a ball
- White passes to the trainer -triangle red
- The trainer passes left or right to one of the shooters
- White provides a good Close Out, going high towards the shooter with 2 arms and contesting the shooter
- The archer tries to hit under pressure
- After 1 minute switch shooters
- Variation: different shooting positions
- The attacker is given very little space to maneuver past the defender
- The attacker is not allowed to look at the ball
- The attacker accelerates
- The defender starts working on his footwork
- Once past the hats, the field is wider and scoring is possible
- Always score
- Variation: the defender stands in the middle of the narrowed field and the attacker starts further back so you get a more game-like situation
- Teams of 2 people
- 5 hats on one side of the bucketline
- Make slides to hat, pick up hat and bring hat to other bucketline with slides
- When a player has brought all hats from one side to the other, the next player can bring the hats back to the other side with slides.
- Team that first has all hats back to the starting position wins
- Losers 10 push ups.
