Put your players into pairs, about 2-3 metres apart from one another with one ball.
Using one hand players must lob pass to one another (don't forget to transfer your weight onto your front foot when passing).
The lob pass is a helpful way for players to pass to a team mate in a congested area when a flat pass is impossible.
It's important the pass is played accurately though, so that the intended recipient can run onto the ball.
For a proper lob pass:
The ball should be held high, with fingers spread behind the ball.
Extend arms and flick wrist, using fingers to guide the ball.
The path of the ball should be high and looping.

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.
