In partners: one player does quick feet in a slight squat position, looking at the ball with their hands by the sides of their heads.
The other player stands 2-3ft in front of them holding the ball in front just below the other player's head level (or lower if this is too easy).
The player with the ball lets go of it so that it falls towards the floor, and the other player reacts to catch it before it hits the floor.
Quick feet needs to be on the balls of the player's feet.
This is to warm up the players and get them reacting to the ball.

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.
