This session is all about running (don't worry it's not a fitness session) as we aim to improve your players' spatial awareness and get them using runs as a way to create space on the court!
Sometimes running away from the ball can be just as useful as running towards it. Although this might sound strange to some of your players it's the key lesson in this session, as we teach players not to crowd and run to the ball, but instead make intelligent runs to stretch the opposition and improve their overall team game.
What's in the Session?
To develop your players' ability to use clearing runs to create space on the court and to get them working as a team with their on court movement this session gets your players to call for the ball, make runs into space and not always receive the pass (like in a game).
We then finish things off with a fun conditioned game, designed to get players to drag their marker around the court, making space for others on their team!

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.
