All players have a bib tucked into the back of their waistband (must be visible).
On the whistle, players attempt to catch as many bibs as possible - whilst keeping their own one in the back of their waistband.
With younger players complete this practice on a time basis so that players are not automatically 'out' when they lose a tail - instead they have lost one life.
Variation:
Players work in pairs. Each person tries to catch their partner's tail.

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.
