While performing this drill there must be groups of 3. Two participants will be trying to pass to each other using the 3 passes spoken about in the first passing drills.This incudes chest pass, shoulder pass and bounce pass. In this drill the defender will be moving around trying to get the ball off the other players but NO CONTACT WITH PLAYERS!!, the defender must make sure to try get the ball and not touch participants because for the most part it is a NON CONTACT sport.
While performing a pass with a defender you must make sure to try trick them you could do a fake pass where you pretend to for example do a shoulder pass but quickly transition into a bounce pass. This will help the players have a successful pass. The defender must make sure to also trick the players thinking they are going to be in one direction but switching as the ball goes to the other player. Must always keep eye on the ball in order to track its movement

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.
