One player has ball near goal post All others in a line around circle edge. First player from line (GA in the example) make a lead in and at the same time calls out a choice from: Poison - thrown on the full 1 - one bounce 2 - two bounces 3... so on After catching the ball (allowing the right number of bounces) they shoot from where they are. If the shot goes in, they replace the other player and it starts again from the line. If they miss then the GS must rebound, allowing the correct number of bounces and shoot. This continues until a shot is succesful.
Set a time limit overall so that the "winner" is the last shooter. Watch for too high numbers being used as this encourages players to not actually affer a proper shot.

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.
