Have two lines of players both stood behind a cone on the edge of the first third.
The red player starts with the ball. The blue player sprints to the cone on the baseline and receives the diagonal overhead pass from the red player.
Once they have received the ball the blue player then passes the ball to the next player in their team before sprinting the back of their line.
The drill repeats the other way round (blue passing to red). Drill continues in this way.
Time the move and sprint onto the ball - players should be moving at all times and not standing waiting for the pass.
This should be a continuous drill and is a great one to integrate into your pre-match routines as it gets large groups of players moving.
Progression:
Add a defender in the middle for players to practice passing over.

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.
