Basketball drills for technique passing

Wave for U12:

• Three teams, 1 ball: pass and cross behind the player.
• Do this slowly at first, U12 kids find this a difficult exercise. Focus on passing and running. Start together (half field lengthwise) and build up when it goes well.
• Depending on the size of the group, divide the field.

Variant for when it goes well:

• Finish with score and play 2x1 (the one who scores will defend),
• Pay attention to outlet pass (ask for the ball on the sideline).

Triplets with a ball.

• Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
• Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
• Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)

• Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
• Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.

Divide the group into pairs.

Passing to the other side:

• First 2-groups fit around the whole field.
• 3 meter distance, no running
• Variant: at the halfway line:
  • Player on the inside dribbles to the head of the bucket and passes to the player on the outside who scores with lay-up/shot.
• Player who has passed runs to the other sideline and receives outlet, passes back to the center line and again shot/layup
• Left and right side

Important that they do not run during the pass and that the players change (inside and outside).

• Make 2 rows with 1 ball.
• Player gives bounce/chest pass to other row and runs after the ball, and closes behind.
• Extend:
  • Place a pylon around which the players have to walk (or 2 pylons).
  • Possibly instead of passing dribble with the ball (left and right)

• Player 1 dribbles while zigzagging between the pillars.
• At the end you dribble back.
• Back at the start, grab the ball and make a maximum of 2 passes.
• During the last 2 passes, player 2 takes over the ball and dribbles the course.
• Repeat for 1 minute

• Position 1. Minimum of 3 players. Every other spot 2.
• Return other side withmid-court pass to runner. 2 steps lay-up.
