Basketball: Skill Pass and Dribble - Part 1

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

Standing 10 feet away from the wall.

Using a 1 handed pass, passing from 1 hand to the other, with one bounce between passes (younger players may bounce the ball more times to allow them to control the ball before passing again).

COACHING POINTS

This drill improves catching and passing accuracy.

The passes should be a straight line pass with some power behind them.

Ball Handling Circuit:

The most important thing is that you get your players used to handling the basketball. You should make it so the basketball feels like it an extension of your hand.

Individual

Behind the back 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.

Passing Technique

2 Player Pass, Cut and Shoot:

Player 1 passes across to player 2.
Player 1 will then cut around the cone near the baseline and back up towards the 3 point line.
When Player 1 gets to this position player 2 will pass to player 1.
Player 2 will then run around the cone and cut towards the basket where he will receive a pass from player 1 and shoot the ball.

Passing

1 on 1 Continuous:

Split into 2 lines and have a line on either side of the court.

One player in the middle with a basketball.

The player in the middle will pass to the 1st player in one of the lines. After the pass is made that player will go and defender the receiver of the pass.

They will play 1v1. Only 1 shot is allowed.

Once a shot has been taken the ball will be passed to the opposite line where the offensive player will become the defender.
