Players set up two sets of lines which are facing one another.
The two lines which start without the ball both sprint into the middle of the area to receive the pass from the left. After receiving the ball they then pass it straight over and follow their pass.
The front players in the two lines which don't have a ball now both drive into the middle to receive the pass from the left and then throw the ball straight over and follow their pass.
The ball should be passed in front of the driving player so that their arms are outstretched to receive the ball.
Do not let players rush the pass, ensure all passes are completed successfully and that chest passes should be fast and flat.

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.
