Step Around Pass:

Step around pass is used when you are closely guarded and you need to step around the defender in the direction you want to pass the ball.

As you step around you will need to protect the ball by getting the ball to the side of your body away from the defender and making the pass from your hip.

Passing Technique

Skill Pass and Dribble - Part 1:

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).

Passing Technique

Step and pass:

Lead to the left of right with one foot. When the weight is transferred over that foot, make a pass straight. Use this pass to move to the side of a defender.

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.
