Warm up drill to promote movement, passing and communication. The three circles are stationary feeders. The two centres are the active players. The straight lines signal ball movement and the dotted lines signal player movement. The Black C starts with the ball and passes to the left post, runs around the post. The White C runs out to receive the ball from the left post and passes to the middle post, runs behind the middle post. The Black C then runs out and recieves from the middle post and passes to the right-hand post, runs behind the right-hand post. The White C receives from the right-hand post, passes to the Black C and clears out of the way. Black C passes to the next player in the line, closest to the left-hand post. Drill runs through again with next pair.
Make sure that all passes and cuts are hard and flat.

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.
