Defenders working together to dictate where pass will go. The ball starts at the top cone and it must get to the end feeder via either of the side feeders, then must go back to the start either through the side feeders or straight from the top to the start.
Two defenders keep eyes up. The defenders know where the passes are going so need to work together to see how they can intercept one of the passes.

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.
