Demonstrate how to defend properly: on the side, close to the attacker, use outside hand only. Either hit the ball away or catch it.
In groups of 3 rotate between thrower, attacker and defender. The thrower is to try and get the ball to the attacker while the defender is defending. The thrower cannot move their feet.

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.
