2 attackers pass the ball between them, at a moderate pace. 1 defender's job is to weave in a figure of 8 around them. As the defender weaves they will intercept every second pass, then throw back to the attacker who they intercepted the ball from. The defender will continue to weave for 20 intercepts PROGRESSION: move up the court running. defender may have to hover until intercept time is easier
Defender leads on an angle with their outside foot Defender catches the ball and run through to the throw Defender has arms out stretched on the intercept, then oulls the ball in to throw back to attacker Read the cues from the attackers

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.
