Have the defending team position themselves so they are in the way of the attackers. The defenders cannot move for the first round. Second round they can wave their hands. Third round they are to defend. The attacking team is to pass the ball between them, avoiding the defending team. They are to pass as many times as the couch says before getting it to their final player. The shooters can shoot on their final throw. The defenders could start at the base line and try to get the ball to the centre of the court with the number of throws the coach says and the attackers can defend. Switch up positions.

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.
