White team start with a ball each. Sitting on the ground with legs out in front, back straight and their main shooting arm up straight, with ball resting on the tips of their fingers. Players flick the ball straight up and try to catch it again. Players in Black team gather the ball if the ball is not caught. Have them do 10 and then swap.
To make sure arm is up straight with elbow next to ear. Elbow, wrist and feet would all be facing the ring when shooting. Make sure ball is coming off finger tips and not off a flat palm.

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.
