Performance pointsâ The focus in this drill is on the timing of movements and preliminary movements, as well as the execution of quick passes.â Players need to think ahead and anticipate their teammatesâ drives, in order to be ready to receive and keep the drill flowing quickly and smoothly.â The player receiving the dropped ball should aim to arrive at the ball carrierâs feet a split second after they land, in order to get to the ball on the first bounce and keep up the speed of the drill.â Ensure all high balls are passed with one hand and with a high release above shoulder height.â Watch for ball placement on all passes. Passes need to be right out in front, putting the driving player on extension so they can continue at full pace, without having to slow down to wait for a pass thatâs placed behind them.â Aim for each player to complete each station 3-5 times.â It can also be a good drill to finish a session if you wish to put your players under pressure. Make them complete 50 (or more) consecutive passes without an error, returning to zero if thereâs a missed pass.

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.
