Blue shooter (Blue 1) has the ball inside the circle.
Pretend to shoot, with white 1 defending, instead of the shot, blue 1 pops the ball over the defender to blue goal attack(number 2) who has held her position with the defence behind her.
Defenders stay in for 10 attacks. Attackers pass and follow and then go to the back of the line after shot.

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.
