Players are stood in each corner of the court with two players stood in the center circle. On the coach's signal players 1 and 2 start dribbling before passing to players 3 and 4 respectively who return the pass.
Players 1 and 2 then dribble further before passing to players 5 and 6 and moving towards the elbow of the free throw line to receive the return pass from players 5 and 6. They then immediately pass to the players 7 and 8.
Players 1 and 2 should now replace players 5 and 6.
Important to stop, pass and move and ensure that you receive the ball and start dribbling (to avoid travelling).
You can use a variety of passes inc. bounce / chest pass.
Progression:
Demand that your players cut and run fast when receiving and passing the ball (no stopping).
Passes should travel in a straight line at speed. The passes in this drill should not arc in the air.
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.
