A circle will be formed surrounding a player. One player will be stood directly in the middle of the circle; they will have the ball. The other four players will form a surrounding circle. The centre player will bounce pass the ball to one of the players stood on the circle edge, the player will recieve the ball and return bounce pass to the centre player. This will happen in a circular motion and after two circuits of the circle the centre player will be changed.

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.
