Blue player 1 dodges to receive from blue 2. The player inside the circle then returns the pass and dodges again.
Before being allowed to make the shot the circle player must receive 5 passes.
After 5 passes the defender takes the rebound, moves out of the circle and becomes the feeder so all 3 players rotate.
Look for short, sharp dodges.
The final (5th) dodge must take you near to the post to make the shot easier!

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.
