Setup
Choose two evenly matched teams, choose ends and start one team as attackers. If less than 6 per side then use only 2/3 of the court. There are no positions, players can run anywhere. Start with a centre pass.
Step 1
The object of this game for the attacking team:-

Pass the ball around quickly so defence don't have time to mark them

Don't be idle - always run into space to become the next passing option

Get your pass away quickly; if you delay the defender will close you down and score 1 point
Step 2
The object of this game for the defending team:-

Mark attackers closely. Every time a player is forced to hold the ball waiting for a passing option and a defender can mark them, score 1 point

A point is only awarded when both players are stationary, and defender marks within 3 feet

Call out the score each time a point is scored
Step 3
A turnover also scores 1 point. If this happens, return the ball to a free attacker and restart.
Step 4
Attacking team work for 60-90 seconds. Don't shoot, just pass around.
Step 5
Rotate roles and try to beat the score.
