How to stop children bunching together when passing down the court
Hi Nicky,
I have attached a video answer for you. The first half of the video explains the issue of overcrowding and how it can easily occur, with the second half of the video providing a drill to help overcome this.
It is important your players increase their spatial awareness, so they can see where other players are before making their movement. Players often simply follow the ball, leading to overcrowding, therefore you need to focus on the importance of MAKING and CREATING space for others. This means that a player not necessarily receive the ball but they could've driven into a space which has drawn multiple defenders in, which has then created space for others. This role is just as important as the player who receives the ball.
Hope this helps.

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.
