Players swap positions after throwing.

COACHING POINTS

Make players jump off at 8-9 metres, not too any closer and not any further away.

Throw just next to hands of defenders (in most situations it is simply not possible to throw over the hands of defenders - players cannot jump that high! - (compare smashes in volleyball : most of them are places just next to the blocking hands of defenders)

PROGRESSION

Defender acts as if to block the shot by holding his arms high to give space for the shot next to the defender's arms..
Defender jumps up to block the shot.
Defender is really active to prevent a goal shot.

Cross-Court Pass and Shoot

Starting on the right backcourt player passes from right to left.

When the third player receives the ball on the left wing they should feint (either to go out or to go in) before then running towards the defender and shooting on goal. Defender only blocks (do not come forward)

Once they've shot on goal each player rotates to the next position.

324 blocking

Quick Switch - Simple Screen

Three groups of players - a group on each wing and a line of three players a couple of meters behind the free-throw line.

The play starts from the right wing with player 1 passing the first of the outfield players (player 2).

Player 2 moves forward to meet the pass and then plays the ball to their left for player 3 to meet and then across to player 4.

During this passing process player 1 must chase the passes across the court - screening to protect the pass and prevent the imaginary defender from receivnig the ball.

When player 4 receives the ball they should shoot on goal.

The drill then starts from the other side - going from left to right.

Shooting Rotations: Coming from the back court

Blue 1 starts the move by feeding the ball in from the wing to blue 2.

Blue 2 then plays a 1-2 pass with blue 3 who runs onto the pass and shoots on goal.

Defender may only try to block the shot : do not come forward!

Cross and shoot under pressure.

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player. When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them. At this point the player in possession should try and get around the defender to get a clear shot off on goal.

Cross and shoot!

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player. When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them as at this point they are blocking the goal keeper's view. Once the other player has the ball they should shoot on goal before then collecting their ball and joining the back of the queue.

Triple cross-over

Players work in groups of four and try to make the three passes as quickly as possible as they cross-over. The starting player runs forward with the ball and passes the ball behind to the next player as their paths cross. As they do so the player three should time their run so that they cross over with player two just as they receive the ball in time to in turn receive the ball. Player four also does the same so that they quickly receive the final cross-over pass from player three.
