One player stands on each cone with a fifth player standing between two of the players, with the ball in hand.
The player in front of the player in possession should set off on a lead run and receive the pass from the fifth player.
After running onto the pass the next player in the square should make a lead run, looking to receive the next pass.
After passing players should continue to run until they reach the unoccupied cone.
Have hands ready to catch the ball.
Make sure the ball is being put in front of the receiving player so that they can move on to the ball and not have to reach behind.
Try to play an accurate lead pass to the player whilst they're on the move. Timing and accuracy are important in this drill.
Ensure there are no travelling violations.
Progression: Make the grid area larger.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
