The players line up side by side, shoulder to shoulder, with  Tips of the feet towards the baseline. Player 2 (the defender) assumes the inside position between player 1 and the basket. Player 1 carries the ball and decides when the one-on-one play begins.

Development

1. When player 1 moves, so can player 2.
2. Player 1 is ordered not to separate and to score, but to first look for the inside position and then enter the basket perpendicular to the body of player 2 attacking with the inside leg.
3. Players receive a point for each basket scored and exchange the position of the ball in each repetition.

Coaching keys
