With my two players I made sure that they could get out for centre passes therefore I worked on sprinting out and getting out quickly on a centre pass, followed by cutting back in. Both of the girls had a go at attacking and defending. Secondly i shown them how to cut back inside again. Strengths: - The two players understand why driving back onto the ball was important and were able to cut back inside to recieve the ball successfully on centre passess - The attacking player beat the defender every time as cutting back inside isolated the defender therefore 100% pass reciving is successful, also allowing for the other attacker to get free in a game weaknesses: -The change in direction by planting one foot to turn away needs to be quicker to avoid the defender catching up -The sprint needs to be quicker to turn the body away from the defender in ensuring that they cannot intercept or come across play

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.
