A fast, decisive attack is built around quality passes. Warm-up with sharp passes to get your players in the flow before upping the intensity by working on getting the ball up and down the court at pace. As the session goes on, develop your players peripheral vision to get their minds working effectively, deciding on where to pass and knowing where the next ball is coming from. This practice will get your players thinking way ahead of the game. Put that into a match situation and they will be bossing it up and down the court!
