Pass it Down the Line Drill In this drill, line up a number of players (4-8) on the sideline facing into the court. Another player should have 1 basketball and be approximately 5-7 feet away from the players on the sideline and should also be facing those players. On the coach’s command, the player with the ball will run in a straight-line down the court, passing and receiving a return pass from each player. After he/she receives the last pass, the player should continue towards the basket for a layup.
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.
