In pairs about 7m apart, 2 cones and a ball. One person works for 45 seconds then swap over. Drive forward but F does not give the pass. A the clears wide around the cone for about 4 steps then drives hard back at a tighter angle (In comparison to Drive and Cleat Fitness Drill 1) F times the pass so A running onto pass. Retreat to restart. Repeat on other side. Variation: F can give the ball at the cone OR may fake it (always gives the re-offer driving ball)
Driving hard, recognising ball not being given so clearing wide enoughA definite clear, create the space donât just sidestep straightHard change of pace between clear and the drive; use of arms for momentum, taking feet all the wayCommunication, eye contact & voice.

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.
