Attacker leads to the right, recieves ball from passer. Meanwhile the defender defends the ball passively. Repeat 5 times each side then swap roles. PROGRESSION: as the attacker becomes confident in their role, the defender can become more aggressive and attempt to intercept the incoming pass
Defender stands side on to attacker to 'track their steps' When the attacker leads right the defenses left foot is froward , allowing the outside arm to intercept the ball

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.
