Players work in groups of 5 - 3 passing players on the outside of the triangle, one attacking player in the middle and one defender who is marking the central player.
The defender has to prevent the attacker from getting free to receive a pass from the outside players.
Small quick steps.
Keep watching the ball throughout.
Defender must be aware of where the feeders are and where the attacker is at all times.
Look for eye contact between the attacker and the feeders.
Progression:Add a Defender (this should give the defenders more success) or add an Attacker, making it harder for the defender(s).

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.
