C feeds to WA as they drive onto the circle edge at speed GS holds high and strong at an angle WA feeds into the space beyond Options With larger groups, have a queue of WAs with balls that can send ball to the C then drive forward. Start the play from a C pass, or simulate ball coming down court from a turnover ball
GS initial hold and angle is key; it must be strong and high Landing on the circle edge in a balanced and controlled manner Trust that the feeder can view and place the ball into 'safe' space; decision led by feeder rather than shooter The feed from the edge can be measured and controlled, no need to rush! Land and balance, take a breathe, and then place the ball neartly into the space!

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.
