2+ players, one ball per player, 1/3 space.
1. Players set up facing eachother about 1 metre apart with a ball each.
2. Sidestepping the third, players alternate each ball using one handed passes.
3. Variation: One partner is 'bumping' the ball off to the working partner with their own ball using high passes.
4. Variation: One partner is bumping the ball side to side with their own ball. Finishw with some over head bumps.
5. Variation: Partners side step down the court with one partner as the 'bumper'.
Use 'soft' passing when doing the alternating of passes and 'move' with the ball.
Encourage good footwork and ideally not stepping while the ball is in posession.

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.
