Multiple Quick Cuts (Triangle Rotation)

Instructions

1. 1P1 passes to P2 on the upper right and immediately cuts diagonally forward
2. 2P2 quickly relays the ball to P3 on the lower side and cuts down toward center
3. 3P3 passes to P1 who has arrived on the far right side
4. 4P1 drives forward toward the shooting zone at full speed
5. 5P1 finishes with a jump shot on goal from the upper right

Coaching Points

• Move immediately after releasing each pass — static players are easy to mark
• Maintain the triangle shape even as positions rotate
• Each cut must be purposeful — move to the open space, not just away from a defender
• Keep passes sharp: flat, chest-height, and on the hands — no looping deliveries
• The final drive is the execution payoff — attack the goal with full commitment

Common Mistakes

• The rotation pattern breaks down after the first or second cut
• Players telegraph their cuts — the direction is obvious before they move
• Spacing collapses as all three players drift toward the ball
• The ball does not keep up with the rotation — passes are too slow
• Players lose track of whose turn it is to cut, creating collisions
