Split players into 4s inside a coned area. The attackers (white) start with the ball on the outside of the playing area.
To begin with White 2 feints a movement one way and then sprints in opposite the direction (to begin with use a passive defender).
After white 1 has passed the ball, she then has to do a feint dodge and run in opposite direction to receive the ball.
Try to get 3 / 5 passes in a row before possession changes.
Players need to communicate with one another to beat the defenders.
Encourage players to use the whole space.
Try to get players to 'give and go' - once they pass the ball move to receive the pass (reactions).
The Dodge:
in more ways than one

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.
