The WA needs to run out on the center pass with defensive pressure from WD, if off ball side, dodge and cut behind WD and sprint towards middle of the court to collect pass from center. Use cone as reference point - remove so player can judge where to dodge for themselves.
Dodging (focus on using the outside foot for faster reaction) Taking centre pass effectively C focusing on passing in front for WA to run onto pass, catch without stepping.

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.
