Players (P) start in pairs then split. One player receives a pass. The player who did not receive a pass makes a clearing movement and drives down the court to receive the next pass. That player then becomes the passer. Repeat. Progression: Vary starting positions (together and drive outwards, apart and drive towards the thrower) once mastered allow players to decide where they start and the direction of their drive Add one passive defender per pair

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.
