The feeder passes the ball to the working player (blue 1).
The passes should be varied (short, wide and high).
Blue 1 must move to the ball as early as possible and pass it back to the feeder before returning to their starting postion - ready to go again!

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.
