Partners, 1 ball, small space ideally with a line or cones, passing player.
1. Partners set up facing eachother. One player to create a movement and the other one follow.
2. Variation: 'Coach calls' GO! Players drive towards the ball to get the ball. The player initiating the movment is the attacker and the mirroring player is the defender.
3. Variation: Players work through some mirror work. The coach then drops an 'anywhere' ball for players compete to get.
Keep work sections to 30 second intervals max.

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.
