Basketball: Behind the back pass

Make a pass off to your left whilst moving forwards. Arm should follow the path of the ball to ensure correct trajectory.

Step with your left foot and pass off the left hip against a wall 3 m away. Make the pass return so you can catch without having to move. Then step backwards and into position to repeat the exercise.

Arm loops behind the back with the ball. Release the ball when the arm is behind the back and beyond the spine to get the accuracy on the pass.

Stand about 10 feet away from a wall. Pass the ball around your back so it bounces back on your front side. Once you catch the ball again, you wrap it around your back again and continue the drill in the same way.

When you collect the ball, set your feet wide apart, bend your knees to form a strong body position to be able to put maximum power and control on the pass.

Step forwards with one foot. As the weight transfers forward make a chest pass by extending your arms at chest height and bounce the ball in between you and the player to whom you are passing.
