Whole group drill, 5 cones, 2 feeders (red) and 2 balls.
Players drive forwards, change direction on the cone and make the interception from a high ball from the feeder at the 2nd and 4th cone.
Head up - always looking at the feeder.
Fast feet retreat. Drive up to meet the ball in air.
Ensure your players are under control as they are running backwards - less speed more haste - as in a game situation both speed and control are important.

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.
