Set up: One ball, full court, 5+ players.
1. Players line up down the middle of the court, evenly spaced.
2. Ball starts at one end and will simply be passed down to each player.
3. Players have to make a movement and time this with receiving the ball.
4. Player recieves a pass then turns and passes down the line.
This simple drill is good for players to get the idea of the ball constantly travelling in a straight line.
Players have to learn to make a movement before receiving the ball.
Players should not be waiting to receive the ball, rather, be driving on to the ball.
Players should not wait to receive the ball, rather, be driving on to the ball.
Bring in defence to make this more challenging.
Players should alternate sides they drive to.
If you have a large squad you could have a competition between two lines.

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.
