Setup
Pick two evenly matched teams, assign attackers. Mark a lane down the middle of the court the same width as the goal circle. Up to 7 players from the attacking team space out evenly inside the lane. The defensive team create a zone defence by dividing up the space.
Step 1
On 'go!', (A) near the post shoots, rebounds their own shot/goal, then pivots and waits for (B) to present.
Step 2
(A) passes to (B). Defenders are allowed 2 steps then 1 jump only to intercept per turn.

Attackers should be able to find space given defenders limited mobility
Step 3
(B) lands, pivots and waits for (C) to lead, before passing to them.

Remember, all defenders are allowed 2 steps then 1 jump to intercept
Step 4
The ball is worked down-court in this fashion until the last attacker receives the ball.

If a turnover is achieved, return the ball to the attackers, and restart from the other end.
Step 5
Now attackers work the ball the other way, back up-court.

Last attacker initiates with shot and rebound.
Step 6
After travelling up-and-back, change the defenders and attackers; repeat.
Step 7
Progression: Allow defenders 3 steps plus a jump and intercept, per turn.
