Full court passing and dribbling, Passing Basketball

Description

Players are stood in each corner of the court with two players stood in the center circle. On the coach's signal players 1 and 2 start dribbling before passing to players 3 and 4 respectively who return the pass.

Players 1 and 2 then dribble further before passing to players 5 and 6 and moving towards the elbow of the free throw line to receive the return pass from players 5 and 6. They then immediately pass to the players 7 and 8.

Players 1 and 2 should now replace players 5 and 6.

Coaching Points

Important to stop, pass and move and ensure that you receive the ball and start dribbling (to avoid travelling).
You can use a variety of passes inc. bounce / chest pass.

Progression:

Demand that your players cut and run fast when receiving and passing the ball (no stopping).

Passes should travel in a straight line at speed. The passes in this drill should not arc in the air.
