What are some good game day drills?

What are some drills that you can use on game day? I can't think of some good drills to get the girls eye in?

i tend to use a basic run catch pivot throw to the person next in line, who then throws it back to me to repeat the process.

i also do a breaking or getting free drill where the girls line up in 2 equal lines, with the attack player being furthest away from me, and they have to use preliminary moves to get free to get the pass.

we then do some circle work for the defence and shooters to get their head into the game...

Check out the "shuttles" and "cross over" drills on here. They`re both pretty good to get people moving.

I usually have a couple of things going on. I get the shooters working together shooting and rebounding, the defenders doing a footwork drill (I think it`s called snakebite on here) and the centre court girls are breaking and doing some fast feet kind of things.

Depending on how old your team is, they like the responsibility of coming up with their own thing. I gave some guidance, but my 15/16 year old girls have loved coming up with their pre-game routine.

Good luck.
