Get into partners and stand in two long lines either side of the centre circle facing each other.Pass the ball once each (1 point), and if they both successfully catch the ball, then they can both take one step backwards - lengthening the distance between them. Repeat this until they drop the ball. Then they go back to the starting position. The game stops when there is a winner - the largest gap where both players can successfully catch the ball between them.

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.
