Split the team into half. Get half of them to line up at the second transverse line in the middle facing the centre circle. Get the other half to line up at the third transverse line opposite facing the centre circle. The front person in each line must drive forward towards the centre circle and change direction to either to the right or left and receive a pass. Turn around and pass back to the line they started at. Second person in line must be ready to receive a pass. Worker should join the opposite line.

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.
