Half the group have a ball each, the other half has to stand tactically in between the two lines.
The players with the balls start behind the line and have to try and get across to the other line by using the static players (middle players can pivot on the spot).
1 or 2 catchers have to try and intercept the balls.
Players caught out must either sit out or help catch out the remaining players.
See how many of the attacking team can get successfully across to the other side!
Attackers must watch the floating players very carefully
Defenders to watch the ball and keep on their toes
Defenders to really commit to the interception
When using as an attack practice, increase and decrease the number of defenders depending on the skills of your group

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.
