Basketball Drills - Rapid-Fire Passing Drills

One-Ball Rapid Fire Passing Drill

Setup:
Have your players line up facing a solid wall, about two feet from the wall (or a toss-back rebounding device).

Drill:
Each player begins rapid fire passing against the wall, moving back about two feet with each pass until 10 feet away (5th pass). Then he/she starts moving closer to wall by two feet with each pass, until 10 passes are completed. Repeat this 10-pass cycle until each player has made a total 20 passes.

Pointers:
Make sure good passing technique is used, and passers step-into the pass. Have them practice their "no look" passes.

Two-Ball Rapid Fire Passing Drill

Setup:
Use groups of four or five players. There is one passer about 6 feet away from and facing a line of receivers (the rest of the group). The passer has a ball and so does one of the receivers.

Drill:
On "Go", the passer passes quickly to any receiver, and the receiver who already has a ball passes simultaneously back to the passer. The passes keep going back and forth to any receiver who does not have the ball. Do as many chest passes as you can in 60 seconds and then rotate.

Pointers:
Use good passing technique while keeping your eyes focused forward and not directly at the receiver. Have your hands up and ready to receive the pass. Use your peripheral vision to see the incoming pass.
