The concept is to get them to stay in the close confines of the Alley. If you have 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 they must pass it to each man on their team before they get it back to the coach. You can also put the ball on the side line and have them go after it and see what they do when the ball is 6 inches from the line. Can incorporate a 2nd pass Air Products Internal Use Only
