Have players get in a big circle. **With younger kids who may not be able to throw it far, you can separate into 2 circles.
Start with one ball, and they have to call out the teammate they are going to pass to, then pass the ball to them **chest pass only for this drill.
On occasion, yell "SHOT" and whoever has the ball has to shoot it. Do this multiple times so everyone gets a chance to shoot.
After a while, add a second (**and in older groups, a third) basketball to the circle to increase difficulty.
Why every session should start close to the basket. Form shooting builds the muscle memory that makes all other shooting possible.
From World Cup qualifiers to rule changes and global development initiatives, basketball continues to grow worldwide. Here's what 2026 has in store.
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.
