2 groups of 4 with one ball in each group standing in two interlocking squares.
The idea of the practice is that the ball starts on opposite sides and both teams pass the ball in the same direction around their square.
The teams are competing to pass the ball around their team the quickest and overtake the ball from the other group.
Keep changing the direction the ball has to be passed round after each race.
You can even shout mid-way through the game to make sure your players are concentrating.

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.
