The Progression of the Drive and Receive Drill includes adding in a defence. The attack and defence pair up on the transverse line. The passer stands in the centre circle, throws the ball to the attacker. The attacker must break away from the defence to receive the ball cleanly. The defence must stay on the attacker.

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.
