Ball carrier gives leading to pass towards cone, runner is running to cone and catches mid-air, landing and pivoting before returning the pass. Ball carrier then pivots to face the next cone whilst runner changes direction and runs again to receive a pass, pivots then returns the pass.
Encourage receiver to have hands up as a target. Runner should focus on taking the ball mid-air and landing on pivot foot. Strong pivot and pass back then run again immediately. Should be a continuous drill. Progression Add a defender, ball can only be received at either cone. Focus moves to faking movements, jukes.

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.
