Basketball Passing

I find that the traditional drills for basketball passing get a bit stale.  Here’s an idea sent in by Renee that has livened things up quite a bit in my practices.

Passing Drill – Rondo

Put all basketball players in a circle.

Two balls are given to two players right beside each other

First player on right will pass ball to the right skipping player right next to her

Second player with ball will pass to the right skipping player right next to her

Example:“  Player #1 with ball – the passing numbers goes 1-3-5-7-9-2-4-6-8-1
Player #9 with ball – the passing numbers goes 9-2-4-6-8-1-3-5-7-9

The object of this passing drill is for the second players (#9) to pass up the (#1) pass

Coach can add balls to be creative or pass counter clockwise.
