The group is divided into two teams, with each being told which way they are shooting.
The aim of the game is for the centre to get the ball to the player called out by the coach as quickly as possible.
To begin with there is no defensive element to this drill - the aim is simply for players to move the ball as quickly as possible (make sure players work the ball round the court).
Variations:
Have two balls, one with each centre. When the coach calls out a player, see which team can get the ball to them the fastest! To make this more challenging you can call out multiple player positions to get the ball moving around the entire court.
A further progression could be that your players are only using one ball, but the players on the opposing team are now active - and can try to intercept the ball - preventing it from getting to its intended recipient!
