Coaching Guidance
Help stress the importance of keeping your head up while you have the ball. When a teammate makes a move or a cut, that is when they are most likely to be open and ready to receive a pass.
Drill:
Set up 4 cones in a square
Divide the girls up into groups of 3 placing each girl at a cone (there should be one open cone)
One player has the ball to start (marked by X)
The player with the ball should run to a cone where there is already a girl
The player at the cone to where the ball carrier is running needs to move to another cone
The ball carrier should make a cut, or dodge or some move around the cone she is running to
(to simulate shaking off a defender)
Then the player should look to make a pass - ideally adjacent to her position
ADVANCED:
Have both girls without the ball move - one girl should be moving to where the ball carrier was
One girl should be moving to the open space that already existed
Expert:
Have 4 girls at the cones and see if they can all make moves to find a different cone than where they started
Teaching the concept of constant motion by all players
