Simulating a centre pass, there are two feeders (C and GS in this case) taking the centre pass. The players in the middle (WA and GA) should drive out at a slight angle (avoid running too wide) to receive the ball. The feeder will pass to one of the driving players and the other will move up court (in this case, GA) to receive the next pass to lay it off to the next player (GS). The drill then repeats from the other feeder (GS).
Ensure driving players run at a sharp angle so they are coming forward for the ball as opposed to going out too wide as this would often mean that wider players could get closed down by defenders. Footwork - land on outside foot when coming onto the ball and pivot to the outside to avoid defenders intercepting or closing down the next pass.

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.
