Players work in groups of 3, with one ball per group.
The ball starts on the side with two players. The first player in the line passes to the opposite side and then follows their own pass. The receiving player catches the ball and then also passes and follows their own pass.
Drill continues. Players must move laterally from one end of the court to the other while performing this skill.
Look for good movement, as players use side-steps to progress from one end of the court to the other.
Also ensure your players step into the pass (for extra power and accuracy) and that they use a quick burst of acceleration to sprint to the back of the opposite line after passing.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
