Starting on a backline, players move the ball through the court ending up with the shooter who puts a shot up.
Players should aim to pass the ball in the following order: GK, GD, WD, C, WA, GA, GS.
If WD had the ball for example, ideally the C should receive it, but WA also needs to offer in a different space for the ball, as well as the GD providing a back up offer if the C is not available.
There should always be a back-up offer from the player who has just received the ball, as well as a minimum of two offers from down the court.
Players should aim to time their movement so they are reading off each other.
Players have a defender on them.
Attackers have to time their movement in relation to the play ahead of them, and be mindfull of where they are moving to.
If an offering player is not used she needs to clear out into the outside channel, hopefully taking her defender with her and freeing up space for her teammates to move in to.

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.
