Basketball Passing Drills – Perfection

Many coaches struggle to come up with fresh ideas for basketball passing drills.  Here is one suggestion that works well.  Give it a try with your team.

From Derick…
We call this basketball drill “Perfection.”

1.  Divide players into three lines — one at the baseline on one side of the basket, two lines above the half court on opposite sides of the jump circle.

2.  The baseline group begins with the basketball.  The first player in line calls the name of the player at the half-court.  That player breaks to the ball and jump stops at the free throw line extended.

Player A passes the ball as the player comes to the jump stop. As Player B jump stops and receives the ball, Player C (from the other line above the half-court) breaks towards the basket.  Player B calls the name of Player C and passes the ball, which should lead to a lay-up with the proper hand.  The whole team must count each made basket.

Each of these elements must be done “perfectly” or the count starts over.  You make 12 in a row from each side to end this basketball drill.
