10 Passes

3 offensive and 3 defensive players begin at half court. The goal is to make 10 consecutive passes without any type of ‘bad pass’. There is no dribbling involved.

Instructions

Offense begins with the ball at half court with defenders denying the ball. The offensive players must get open to receive the pass. The only way to do this is to set good screens and then roll. Since there is no scoring involved and no dribbling, your defenders can get extremely aggressive, trying to get the steal. Any ‘touching the ball’ by the defense results in a turnover. This drill gets very aggressive, since we have the losers do push-ups, sprints, etc.

Variations

  • Allow switches on the screens.
  • Allow 1 or 2 dribbles after each pass.

Tips

  • Have defenders yell ‘Dead’, ‘Stick’, etc in the face of the person holding the ball.
  • Don’t allow the defenders to foul, this will increase fouling in game situations.
  • The offensive players, must be strong with the ball to avoid being over-powered by the defense.

Skills

Passing, setting good screens and rolling to the ball, fighting over screens
