DESCRIPTION 2 Feeders and 1 worker. 1. The worker receives the ball from one of the feeders and passes it diagonally to the other feeder. 2. Worker then moves across to receive the ball back from the second feeder. 3. Repeat. It`s very important that the worker lands on the outside foot every time she catches the ball to be able to step with the other foot towards her next intended pass. COACHING POINTS Ensure players drive onto the ball and land on their outside foot each time, in both directions. Players need to face the ball at all times. Players should push off the landing foot to drive to receive the next pass.

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.
