Basketball: 3 Man Runner Passing Drill

Develop your players fitness by translating the conditioning to specific offence transition skills. Get them turning defence into attack with a fast break right up to the final buzzer.

The person in the middle will receive the basketball from the player on the side, once the person in the middle has the ball they will throw it straight back to the same person.

They will then turn to the other side and repeat this.

They will continue to repeat this until they reach the half way line.

Once they get to the half way line the players on the side lines will turn and dribble back.

Once they get around 20 feet away from the basket, one at a time they will perform a "give and go" or 1-2 pass for a lay-up.

Players are numbered from one to five with player number one starting with the ball to the right of the key.

player number one will then pass the ball to player number two, following the direction of their pass and joining the left hand side of the court behind player number four.

Player number two will then pass to number three, also following their pass and the movement continues...

Once the players have reached the other side of the court the player with the ball should make make a layup and attempt to score.

Set up 4 lines of players, with a line in each corner of the court.

Players will play 2v2. Once a shot has been taken the ball is passed to the next pair of players and the previous attacking pair must sprint back to play defence into the 2v2.

A continuous drill. The coach can keep score if they wish too.

Blue 1 and Blue 3 must try to exchange passes. White 1, the defender must try to intercept or deflect the pass.
