3-6 players, 1-2 balls, 1/3 space.
1 feeder with a ball stands at the top of the triangle.
2 other players (workers) make the base of the triangle.
Working players drive in the shape of a bow. They will cross paths and need to communicate.
The feeder will deliver random balls so workers need to be ready to recieve a pass at any point.
Progression 1: Bring in a defender.
Progression 2: Two sets of workers set up opposite eachother across a whole 1/3 space. There are 2 feeders. The drill plays out as above but when the coach calls 'swap' one worker from each side swaps sides and continues the drill.
Players need to communicate as they are working closely in eachothers space.
Encourage workers to face the ball and be prepared to receive a pass at any time.

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.
