3 on 3 halfcourt with man defense emphasized.

Run the most common actions of your opponents using (3) offensive players. If a fourth player is needed for ball reversal, a coach can play this fourth spot unguarded.

The offensive players each execute their role without rotating. The three defenders take turns guarding all three offensive positions.

After all (3) defenders have guarded the three positions correctly, a rotation takes place so that the entire team guards not only the action but all three offensive players executing the action.
