Basketball drills for technique passing

Lay-up exercise across the width of the room:

After you've made the lay-up, catch the ball and play it through with a bounce pass to a player without the ball in the row you came from!

• Player is explained shooting technique. 
• Practicing over distance on the field. 
• Pay attention to technique and the curve of the ball. After 10 practice throws in the field, the first player slides into the ring.
• 1 Player stands in the first hoop and shoots. If it's in, it's 1 point, player moves to the second hoop and shoots , 2 points if it's scored. 
• If it's not scored, then move to 1 hoop closer. If it's scored, move to the 3rd hoop.
• If you score the 3rd hoop, you get 3 points and you may stay and shoot again. 
• Max score is: 1-2-3-3-3-3-3-3=27 points.
• Under the basket is a teammate who rebounds and passes the ball back to the shooter. 
• After 10 attempts, shooter and rebounder change positions. 10 attempts again
• Remember your score. 
• After one session (10 throws each) these players go to the field to practice and move up the line. 
• When everyone has finished, compare scores.
• Points of attention: shooting technique, rebound action, (shooter ask for the ball) and passing technique.

• Players in a row on the free throw line or for U10 and U12 a bit closer to the basket (put down pilons).
• First two players have a ball.
• Player 1 tries to shoot. 
• When the ball is thrown, player 2 may also shoot.
• If the player misses, go for the rebound as fast as possible, try to score from the area where the rebound is picked up (if it is behind the baseline, dribble in a bit).
• If player 2 scores before player 1, player 1 is finished and is not allowed to play again.
• After a goal is scored, pass as soon as possible to player 3 plays so that he can 'kill' his predecessor.
• Connect yourself at the back of the row.
• Play on until there is 1 player left. 
• Note that the player who has to be played has to get out at the right side to be able to play. And that the scorer rebounds the ball as fast as possible and plays it back with a good tight pass.
