2-on-2 Continuous
Two attack two at one end. After the score or the stop the defenders outlet to a pair waiting on the free-throw line extended, and that pair attacks the other way while the two who just attacked sprint back to defend them. The game never stops.

Coaching points
- Do not slow the ball down: outlet, then attack before the defense is set.
- Get back on the shot or the turnover; the first one back stops the ball.
- The outlet catches on the move, inside the three-point line, facing up the floor.
- Defenders talk: who has ball, who is back.
- Keep the ball out of the middle of the floor on defense; push it to the side.
