Basketballexercises for technique passing
- Pairs run from baseline to baseline on the right side of the field,
- meanwhile chest pass back and forth,
- distance between them is approx. 3 metres.
- Return on the left side, but then with bounce-pass.
Line up the children in two lines, encourage strong passes, whoever has 25 passes first sits on the ground.
We start with fake a pass, make a pass and pivot push pass, we do this without game form.
- Chest pass
- Bounce
- Push (left, right)
- Overhead
Players gather on the right or left side of the center line.
The first two have a ball.
There are two catchers under the basket.
From the center line you dribble to the basket and make a lay-up.
The catcher catches the ball and passes it to the next player in line.
You do this until you have scored 15 times and then you change sides.

With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has the ball- The middle passes to a man and runs after the ball
- The man in the middle passes to the man on the other side, who also runs after the ball.
- They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
- When someone is close enough to the basket, the man runs a lay-up.
- He becomes the defender and the other two attackers must try to reach each other with a long ball.
- The goal of the defender is to prevent the attackers from scoring.
- If the attackers do not manage to score, they must do 5 push-ups.

Player 1 has 2 balls and dribbles to the pawn with both balls.
Player 2 cuts from the corner to the wing.
Player 1 makes a 1 hand push pass to player 2 on the wing.
With the other ball player 1 makes a cross over and shoots the ball.
Player 2 makes a jump shot.
The players practice with the overhead pass (with 2 hands, from above the head) and vary with distance players stand in a circle with 1 player in the middle.
- One player starts and throws the ball with a chest pass to the player in the middle.
- Then the first player runs after the ball to the middle.
- The player in the middle throws the ball to the next player in the circle and then runs after them etc.
The players stand in a circle and pass the ball to each other.
- They are free to choose who they throw to and which pass variant they use.
- To make the exercise more difficult more basketballs can be used.
Create a rectangular fieldTwo
teams: attackers / defenders
Players may only tap by pressing the ball on their backs
Learning point: quick passes move after your pass tight passes and quick passes

With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has the ball- The middle passes to a man and runs after the ball
- The man in the middle passes to the man on the other side, who also runs after the ball.
- They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
- When someone is close enough to the basket, the man runs a lay-up.
- He becomes the defender and the other two attackers must try to reach each other with a long ball.
- The goal of the defender is to prevent the attackers from scoring.
- If the attackers do not manage to score, they must do 5 push-ups.

Objective:
Try to score 5 times with your group as quickly as possible.
Task:
Divide the players into 2, 3 or 4 groups so that there are max. 6 of them in a group. Give each player in each group a number from 1 to 6. Each group sits in a corner of the terrain. In the middle there are 2, 3 or 4 basketballs in hoops.
When the coach says a number, the players with that number sprint to the middle as fast as they can, take a basketball and dribble to goal. They get only 1 attempt to score. After their goal attempt, they put the balls back in the middle and rejoin their group. The first group with 5 scores wins the game.
Variations/ gradations
Make scoring easier by attaching a hoop to the ring where players can also score. A score through the hoop is then worth double points.
Goal:
- shot from the elbow
- outlet pass after score
- overhead pass from low post to elbow
