Player 2 moves into the circle to receive a ball from blue player 1.
Blue 1 immediately moves in to take up the rebound position with the defender (green player 1) and battle for the rebound.
Encourage players to drive onto the pass from player 2 to lose the defender to allow herself to set up for the shot unopposed.
Players should be setting up to shoot as soon as they have received the ball - they only have 3 seconds from receiving the ball to releasing it.
Shooting Technique:
in more ways than one
in more ways than one
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.
