Work on your team?s attacking capabilities, particularly with getting free from their marker through protecting space and conserving their energy to be ready to launch successful attacks. This will require your players to demonstrate a strong, upright stance, which will be improved on in this session, so your players are ready to dominate the opposition!
Get your players thinking of different ways to overpower the opposition, making them aware of the space around them and be up on their toes, ready to maintain possession of the ball. Stress the importance of communication between your players, as we get to work with a number of challenging exercises, making sure that your team are working together to keep the ball.

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.
