This drill is for a minimum group of eight.
Two players standing at each point of a cross.
Have two balls start on opposite sides of the cross (white 1 and 3)
Blue 1 and 3 run straight across and receive a pass from the left. They then pass on straight and join the end of the opposite line.
White 1 and 3 then do the same, run straight and receive the ball from the left, pass on straight and join the end of the opposite line. Repeat

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.
