Basketball drills for technique passing
- Guard with ball
- 2 players on the three-point line -1 offense, 1 defense-.
- Player tries to get free
- Four players stand in defensive position.
- Coach throws the ball against the board.
- Player 4 takes the rebound and passes the ball to player 2.
- Player 2 receiving the ball:
- Receives the ball and watches.
- Dribbles into the lane just off the center circle.
- Player 1 on the ball side:
- Sprints into the lane next to the sideline and looks over his inside shoulder to stay within passing range.
- Is first option in the start of the fastbreak.
- Player 3 on the non-ball side:

- Ball in the middle
- Conduct:
- Middle player throws the ball against the board and takes rebound (as high as possible)
- Middle player makes an outlet pass to the player standing to his/her right
- The player standing to the left starts to run
- Player receiving the first pass (right) takes 2 dribbles and then passes to the player running left
- The player running left does a layup
- The player running in the middle takes the rebound
- The outside players cross and run back to the other side of the court
- Here we do the same thing, first a pass to the right, then a pass to the left and finish with lay-up
- Progression:
- 1 dribble instead of 2
- Regression:
- Allow multiple dribbles
Weave with 3 players
- Player 1 finishes
- Player 2 and 3 receive a pass on the side of the court and take a shot with their own rebound.
- They try to make 100 scores within the 1.30 min
Option 1
- Blue runs to the middle and receives the pass from orange
- Orange then fills in blue
- White and Red come up at the same time that orange passes to blue
- White receives the pass from blue at the free throw line and faces the basket
- Red accelerates somewhere near the free throw line and heads for the basket
- White passes to red and red makes a layup
Option 2
- After orange passes to blue, orange also cuts across the right side and there is a second playoff opportunity for white.
Option 3
- Orange and blue continue to cut in and white takes a shot
- Orange and blue fight for the rebound and a score
