This drill will allow a runner to make a short run to create free space and allow for a longer pass into the free space to create a scoring chance.
WA must be quick moving. GS must read WA and know when to run into free space and where to receive the ball. GA must read GS, and move when ball is being received into shooting zone. Centre must make runs to confuse marker.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
