Hi Rachellesyn,
The 1-5 post passing drill involves:
Positioning:
Player 1 (Point Guard) at the perimeter.
Player 5 (Post) in the low post.
Entry Pass:
Player 1 passes to Player 5 in the post.
Post Move or Pass Back:
Player 5 makes a post move or passes back out if no scoring opportunity.
Repetition:
Repeat the pass into the post, focusing on timing and coordination.
Optional Variations:
Player 1 can cut to the basket, initiate a pick-and-roll, or involve weak-side action.
This drill improves passing, post play, and offensive coordination.
I hope this helps,
Cam
