Groups of 4, in an area the length of a third and just under half way across court. In this area have 3 attackers, 1 defender.
Starting at one end of the third the attackers move to the other end with their passes. Defender attempts to stop this. If the ball is intercepted it is reset to the end that play started on.
When attackers make it to the opposite end = 1 point
When the attackers get to 4 points swap the defender.
If the defenders are really struggling then the width can be made smaller.

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.
