1. Place the ball handler behind the baseline.

2. Stack three players along the outside of the key in line with the inbounder, each behind the other.

3. Place the fourth on-court player in the wing, on the same side of the key as the inbounder.

4. Inbounder taps the ball to signal start of play.

5. Send the wing player cutting inside beneath the hoop, moving behind the third player and tapping his or her shoulder on the way.

6. Send the third player on the tap, stepping to the outside for a pass.

7. Drop the first player back inside and have him or her rush to the top of the key.

8. Keep the second player stationary.

9. Have the ball handler fake to the player at the hoop, and then inbound to either the second or third player.

Tips & Warnings

• If the first two choices are covered well, inbound deep to the top of the key and set a play.
• The inbounder - probably your point guard - should have excellent passing skills. Put your tallest players out on the court.
• The hoop man will be guarded well. Passing to this player would mean a likely turnover.
• If you have any condition that could impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
