Players pair up, starting either side of the post (1). They jog out to 2, touch hands, then run backwards in opposite directions along the circle edge to 3, then return to the top with high knees, touch hands again (4), then side step to 5, high knees to 6, grapevine to 7. A 2nd pair of players starts as soon as the 1st pair reach 4. A 3rd pair starts as the 2nd pair reach 4. The 1st pair sprint from 7 to 1 when the 3rd pair leaves 2. The cycle continues, with unlimited pairs.

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.
