Get players into a team of at least 4, 5 or 6 if you would like to introduce defenders straight away. The two shoots will be constantly on the move, when they want to receive the ball they will drive to one of the cones. Both the WA and C will have a ball, so can pass the ball to either player. One rule is that both players cannot receive the ball on the backline cones at the sametime. This is to encourage shooters, that when player is driving for the back line the other should be driving to the fron of the 'D'

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.
