The rebounder usually passes to an outlet
5
3 on 3 Continuous

• The aim is the dribbler (whoever it is at the time) ideally runs the centre lane and the offense players without the ball run the outside lanes ahead of the ball carrier
• This gives the dribbler passing options to either side of the court, to avoid sideline traps or being sidelined out of court

Note: Dribbling isn't mandatory as passing is usually encouraged if a player is open

If a turnover happens, offense switch to defense and defense to offense and the play continues with no outlet passes to sideline until a basket or rebound is made.
