Players line up in 4 lines
Ball begins at line 1 and 2
Players from line 3 and 4 run forward and receive chest pass and pass back to feeder
Players continue moving forward to receive bounce pass and pass back
Players move diagonally backwards and receive lob from opposite line, turn around and pass to player in front of them
Repeat, with feeders now becoming workers.
Progressions
- vary type of passes
- add more passes (lengthen working time)
- add extra lines and diagnol swaps occur more than once

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.
