Both players move in the same direction with the feeder moving backwards.
The feeder must play the ball to any side of the receiving player, within arm's reach, for them to react to, collect and pass back as quickly as possible.
Players progress like this from one side of the court to the other, taking short fast steps, staying up on the balls of their feet.
Once players reach the back line they swap roles and repeat the drill in the opposite direction.
To make the drill more challenging for the receiving player the feeder should try to mask where they're going to pass the ball, occasionally faking to keep their partner on their toes.

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.
