basketball drills for passing

• A runs in and (runs or around his/her axis and passes the ball to B or gives a sliding flat to B).
• B takes the ball open and gives a weighted push (a push that stops rolling) in the course of player C
• C takes the ball and accelerates to the pilons line without stopping or slowing it down (hip just in front of the left foot is the easiest way to do this) C the ball in the course of Player D 
• Player D runs through the ball and takes the ball strongly. He runs through one gives a backhand pass (FINGERS SPREAD) to E 
• Player E takes the ball at once and gives a bouncing ball in the course of F that takes and scores!
• Differentiation:
  • Player A must give a slide on B (let the ball slide off your stick)
  • Persist: you are chasing your ball

• 1 player represents 4 other players
• 1 player passes the ball and passes it to the freeman
• If the pass departs from the fixed pass, the other ball may leave for the fixed pass

• B passes the ball to C 
• B runs until cone receives the ball
• B scores layout
• B connects to row C
• C passes the ball back to row B
• C is going to take the rebound from B 
• C goes to row A
• A passes the ball to B 
• A connects to row B

• Set up players: 
  • 1 with ball on the head (pos 1/white), 
  • 1 in position 2 or 3 (blue), 
  • The rest on 4 or 5 (same side as the forward, red). 
  • A defender or pilon somewhere around the free throw line or closer to 1 (is the defender of 1)
• White passes to blue and immediately makes a cutting movement. 
  • Feint to the left and cut across the defender
• Blue passes the ball to white in its movement and takes position 1. 
  • First of red fills in the position of blue.
• White scores with the ball and the ball goes back to the new player in position 1. 
  • White follows red and becomes the last player in the red row.
• The exercise starts again.

• All players shoot from multiple positions. 
• Can be a game with players at other basket. 
• For example: 10 points from each position. 
• Scoring of the position under the board also using the board. 
• Catch your own ball or give a good pass to the next in line. 
• Make sure you are ready to score as a shooter. 
• Use only 1 ball per basket

Start with 1 ball, later on you can use two balls.

• 4 rows in 4 corners
• 1 ball in opposite corner
• pass to the man on the right, run straight ahead
• pass to the running man, and run straight ahead
• running man passes straight ahead, connecting behind the second row.

• Call out the name of the person you're passing to.
• after 5 minutes, switch sides and pass left

1. with 1 ball (repeat 2 or 3 times)
2. Stand in a circle
   • 1 ball / dribble on the spot
   • call name of the other and bounce pass
   • No name mentioned is out of the circle!
   • Not captured, out of the circle!
3. same with 2 balls (repeat 2 or 3 times)

• Consider the pilons as the defense (players can also be used for this). 
• Player 1 (white runs) towards player blue. 
• Halfway through the run, player blue runs behind his defender and asks for the ball. 
• Player white passes to blue. 
• As soon as player blue catches the ball, player red sprints away behind his defender. 
• As soon as player red catches the ball player 2 sprints away from white behind his defender. 
• The makes the circle go round. This is an active exercise in which timing, passing and catching are a crucial part. 
• Because everyone is busy, this is also conditionally a good drill. 
• With younger players the distance between pilons is shorter. 

  
  

• Centers
• Starting from U16
• 2 or 4 centers
• 1 ball per pair
• a basket 

Aim:

• Defending a turn around jump shot
• box out after shot
• stimulate offensive rebound after shot

Organization:

• attacker turns around his axis and shoots
• Defender brings his body in front of the ball with a slide-step, as close as possible to the body of the attacker.
• keeps both arms straight up (= wall) so that the attacker has less view of the basket and has to adjust his shot slightly to shoot over the outstretched arms
• box out immediately after the shot
• A goal is 1 point
• offensive rebound is 2 points even after a goal
• each player defends 5 times in a row
• loser for each point difference: 2 push-ups

Teaching points:

• feet slightly wider than shoulder width
• knees slightly bent
• upper body and arms vertically
• NO batting movement towards the ball
• stand up against the attacker by moving towards the attacker (the upper body remains vertical)

Variant:

• attacker starts under the ring, with his back to the back line and gives a short bounce pass to himself
• attacker first makes a shoulder fake in the opposite direction just before the shot

Aim:

• Elbow shot
• Outlet pass after scoring
• overhead pass from low post to elbow

Organization:

• rebounding after shot and stepping directly over the back line and taking the ball
• always follow the ball and take the next position
• set a target; e.g. 30 shots

Teaching Points:

• In the final step, bring the ball over the head and turn the face towards the field
• tight overhead pass to the outlet
• ask high for the ball
• Pass the ball in the shooting hand

Variations:

• left and right
• Fill waiting time at forward position with fake passes
• Vice versa: After scoring, pass to the elbow and shoot from the corner

• rebounder (1) passes to outlet (2) 
• and runs behind the outlet along the sideline to the other side to get the ball back for a layup.
• Outlet (2) passes to a man in center circle (3), 
• He then dribbles to approx. the 3-point line and plays a bounce pass to (1) for lay-up.
• (3) takes the rebound and is becomes (1) at the opposite site of the field
  • With 10 persons or more, include one (4) in the far corner. 
  • In that case, (3) passes to (4), which then gives a bounce pass to (1) 
  • and then grabs the rebound and becomes (1).
