After thinking about this for a while we thought the best way to answer this question was to write a session dedicated to Losing your marker
To help your WAs escape their markers and create space this sessions works on space finding moves and plays including The Roll, a sharp change of pace and The Cut.
Trying to get free from defenders can sometimes be tough, but with a little bit of practice your players should have some tricks up their sleeve to befuddle, bamboozle and lose their markers!

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.

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.
