In one third of the court split your players into groups of 9 with one ball.
Coach starts the practice.
Each player at the front of the line (in turn) moves out to then drive onto the flat fast pass. They then pass the ball on to the next player in the sequence.
Each player after having passed the ball goes to the back of their original line.
Definite drive (no dithering)!
Encourage players to call their team mates name to help players know where the ball needs to go.
Players need to show a definite drive towards the ball by pushing off their outside foot to change direction and move onto the ball.
Players need to use their body - especially their feet, hips and shoulders. This will help to lose a defender.
This practice is a ideal for before a match as it really gets players thinking.

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.
