3 and 4 are posts (static). 1 and 2 can only feed the ball straight.
They pass the ball to each other and occasionally feed to 3 and 4. Defender 1 must go for the interception.
NB-the defender must be successful to build confidence
Defence 1 must stay in the centre on her toes.
Do not commit to soon
aim is to cut off the angle of the pass
Progression: As the defenders confidence builds, space between players 3 and 4 can increase so defender has more ground to cover

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.
