*Variation #3 (10 min):  "Off-Ball Cutter."  Same as the above variations except there is a coach or player on the far side who attempts to pass a ball to the off-ball cutter; both players leaving on the coaches whistle.  If players are acting as passers they pass first, cut from off-ball second and then play defense third (after the other side takes their turn).

*Variation #4 (10 min):  "Low Defender."  Same as the above variations except there is a low defender playing positional defense on the same side as the offensive player, attempting to stand in the shooting lane of the ball carrier while they play 1-on-1 against the other defender.  The low defender can also provide help if the ball carrier comes anywhere in their vicinity, but they are not allowed to take more than 3 steps max.

The rotation through this drill is to play offense, play on-ball defense, then play as the low defender; eventually exiting to the back of the line on one's proper floor-side.

For intermediate players, using a tennis ball in this variation is sometimes better, to build up the courage of the low defender to stand in the shooting lane; putting their body on the line to try to block the shot.

Variation #5 (10 min):  "Game To 7."  To add competition, play a game of lefty’s versus righty’s up to 7 goals (lefty's playing defense against the righty's and vice-versa), with the losing team doing push-ups, sit-ups, planks, body weight squats, sprints, etc.  Furthermore, coaches can make it so 2 goals can be tallied on "bounce shots" if they feel like that particular skill is worthy of emphasis.
