*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*
Set up: half court space, 1 ladder, 6 cones, 2 ball, 2+ players.
Player A starts in the shooting circle, the other player, B, on half way.
Player B, on halfway runs little feet through the ladder.
At the end of the ladder, 3 cones are set up in an L formation.
Player B runs in the L formation twice then drives to top of the circle.
Player A, inside the circle feeds the ball to player B at the top of the circle and drives out.
Running player drives towards the base of the post then on an angle out towards the feeding player who delivers the ball back into the player who puts up a shot.
Keep players on a reasonably fast rotation so feeding and shooting play is kept up.
You could add in circle defence when players are confident in their movements.

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.
