Attackers pass the ball to anyone who is free in their fixed positions, only chess pass and bounce pass allowed. The defenders need to intercept the ball, then whoever intercepts it and the one who lost the ball switch positions. Progression: It also counts as a point if the defender touches the ball while it's still in the attacker's hands.
Practice on chest pass, bounce pass and decision making, under pressure. The progression makes both sides become more active, and it makes the attackers think more quickly and decide their pass faster.

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.
