Players pair up with same position from other team (e.g. GS-GS, C-C etc.) All pairs stand 3 metres apart, and are given a number. First pair are given 5, next 10 and so on. When the players are told to start, they must pass the ball to their pair based on the number they are given. When they complete their passes, they must shout `bump` and swap with the pair next to them, and carry on (adding 5) to their original number. Those that were bumped down, must take 5 off their original number. After 5 minutes, stop the game and see how many times each pair has been bumped up or down.

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.
