Whilst passing the ball to each other, three players run in a line across the width of court.
Players number themselves 1, 2 and 3 and pass in the following pattern:
1 passes to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 1...
When they reach the end of a third players should quickly run round and realign so that they are passing in the same order.
Key points:
Keep eyes forward and shoulders square, using peripheral vision to pass and catch ball as they run.

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.
