Touch Down Pass Drill The object of this drill is for players to develop their long passing skills. The long pass can be essential for fast breaks. In this drill, one player is designated the rebounder/passer. The other players line up towards the baseline, outside the 3 point arc. The rebounder gets the rebound (either a real rebound from another player/coach or an imagined rebound), and then throws a long outlet pass to the player running down court. The pass should be thrown over hand like that of a football throw and should reach over the half court line (depending on the age and strength of your players). The player receiving the pass should catch it and then continue to dribble towards the far basket and perform a layup.
