Passing

Another fundamental skill that is often overlooked. These drills will teach you everything from individual passing drills, to team passing drills.

There are 63 basketball drills in this category, and the newest ones are listed first.

5 Man Weave

Begin with 5 players at one end of the court. Pass and go behind (weave) the person shooting the lay-up and the person who passed the ball to shooter immediately sprint to cover the defensive basket. The closest person to the rebound takes the ball out of the basket and passes to nearest offensive person to initiate a 3 on 2 situation. At the other end of the court play continues until the two defenders secure the ball via rebound/steal or the offense scores.

5 ball 3 man weave

To begin with, you need a player in all four corners of the court with a basketball. You also need a player at the end of the court, underneath the basket, with a basketball. Along with this player, there needs to be two players out in the corners who will be passers with the middle player, and then eventually shooters at the other end of the floor.

No dribbling is allowed and players must play man to man defense. The ball must be passed up the court without touching the floor. To score a point the offense must pass the ball to their goalie.
The player to pass it to the goalie takes his/her place on the chair and the defense gets the ball out of bounds.
A violation of a rule results in a turnover.
