Player starts in corner.
-Player has to make 2 shots before moving to the next spot.
- Once a player makes 2, player has to sprint and touch half court before moving to the next spot.
- Player has 90 seconds to complete 10 makes.
- If they complete 10 makes with time left, they can start to go back around the horn.
*If they do complete 10 makes under 90 seconds, then the next goal is 2 makes at each spot have to be consecutive (2 in a row).*
