Basketball Drills - Full-Court Passing Drills
From the Coach’s Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.netYou must do passing drills and never assume your players are good passers. Poor passing will destroy an offense faster than anything. Excellent, crisp passing makes it all work. Many turnovers are related to bad passing or receiving. All players must become good at the chest pass, bounce pass and overhead pass.
Passing Drill #1 - "Laker" Full-Court Passing and Lay-up Against Pressure DrillThis full court drill emphasizes passing, the speed dribble and lay-up against pressure, defensive hustle, and conditioning.Use three lines. O1 throws the ball off the backboard, gets the rebound and outlets to either wing. Each player sprints up the floor, staying in his/her lane. After passing to a wing, the wing passes back to O1 and then O1 passes off to the opposite wing, and so it goes. Once the ball crosses half court, the wing who received it across half court speed dribbles in for the lay-up. Meanwhile the opposite wing becomes a defender and sprints to the hoop to either challenge the lay-up or take the charge. O1 rebounds and starts the drill back up the floor. |

Passing Drill #2 - 2-Man Full-Court Speed-Dribble and Passing DrillMake two lines on one end of the court as shown in diagram A, with the left line players each having a ball.The first player (player A) in left line speed dribbles up to the three-point line and passes to player B sprinting up the side line, who catches the ball, speed dribbles to the half-court line and passes back to player A, who dribbles to the top of the circle, passes back to player B cutting to the hoop for the lay-up. Player A gets the rebound and drill repeats going back up the opposite side-line. The second players in line start off once the previous twosome has reached half-court. You can vary this by requiring a jump stop before each pass and after each reception.
