__**Set-up:**__
1. 2 players at one end starting on defense 2. 3 lines (for groups of 3) at the other end starting on offense.

__**Rules:**__
1. Three starting on offense outlet pass and try to score on 2 defenders at opposite end 2. Two defenders take the ball after score/miss/steal and try to score on 1 player at the other end 3. Whoever takes the shot or turns the ball over on offense in the 3-on-2 is the player who has to sprint back on defense in the 2-on-1

__**Points of emphasis:**__
1. Stay WIDE running the fast break lanes. If offensive players are spaced too closely together, it makes it easy for one defender to guard more than one opponent. 2. If you have the ball, force the defender to commit to stopping either the dribble or the pass - Don't let the D play halfway!. Drive to the basket until they commit to stopping you, and use pass/shot fakes to test them. 3. Run at top speed - game speed. In a game situation, you only have a few seconds to take advantage of superior numbers before the other team catches back up again.
