This drill encourages players to look up the floor and pass, rather than dribbling. You develop skills for rebounding, pivoting, jump stops, bounce and chest passes, lay-ups, power and speed dribble.
We like this drill because it utilizes so many skills and keeps our team moving up and down the court. We also turn it into a team competition against the clock that encourages everyone to work together. Instructions
Set up: two balls needed. Divide your team into four or five equal groups (if you have extra players put them by basket in rebounding line). Start the first near the basket in rebounding position with the rest in a zig-zag pattern down the court (The first group is under the basket, second group takes the outlet pass near the side line about half way to the half court line. The third group should be on the other side of the half court line on the opposite side and the final group at the free throw line extended). should be a group near the half court line and a group .
Coach takes shot or throws the ball off the backboard.
3 rebounds the ball passes to 5.
3 follows his pass to the next line.
5 comes toward the ball, jump stops ,pivots, passes up the court to 7 and follows the pass to the next line.
7 comes toward the ball, jump stops ,pivots, passes up the court to 9 and follows the pass to the next line.
9 comes toward the ball, jump stops ,pivots, and dribbles towards the hoop for the lay up. After the lay up, the next group starts.
9 grabs the rebound and power dribbles to the sideline then speed dribbles down court, coming to a jump stop on the sideline at the foul line extended. The player passes the ball back to the coach and returns to the rebounding line. Points of Emphasis:
Variations:
- Allow two or three dribbles before each pass.
- Compete against clock to make a certain number of lay-ups in three minutes.
- Move last line to baseline or foul-line extended by three point line.
- Player cuts, catches pass at foul line, squares to bucket and shoots jump shot.
- Remove the coach. When the power dribbler reaches the three-point line, she dribble drives to the elbow, pulling up for a jump shot. Player under basket rebounds the shot and passes to outlet.

Your 3 Responsibilities as Pass Receiver.
Being the pass receiver is hardly a passive role. Even though you're on the receiving end, there are several active things you must do to make the passer's job easier.
1. Call for the ball with your hands
2. Call for the ball with your voice yell out "BALL!"
3. Call for the ball with your eyes. Make eye contact!
Finally, the last 3 feet of the pass are yours as the receiver. If at all possible, take a step towards the ball to meet the ball from the passer.

Drills are the backbone of every practice.
Without'em you're left with a bunch of guys simply
hangin' out...not improving...not working on their
games...and showing the same weaknesses.
The whole point of having practice is to improve.
And the only way to improve is to use drills
that are fun, challenging, and most importantly,
help your guys/girls improve!
The 1st step is to identify what your team needs
to work on, or what their weaknesses are.
One thing that EVERY team can benefit from is better
passing. Good passing allows your team to score points
with less energy, because its the quickest and most
effective way to get the ball from player to player.
Full Court Fast Break Offense/Defense Dril
1) This is a full court 3 on 3 drill. You
divide the floor into 3 lanes.
2) 3 players are on offense, and 3 players
are on defense. You need a total of 6 players.
3) One player has the ball in the middle of the
floor. The other 2 players on offense take the
outside lanes.
4) Each player stays in the same lane the
entire drill. You want to advance the
basketball against the defensive players
without turning it over.
5) After each catch you're allowed one dribble.
You can't use skip (long) passes. You can't use
lob (overhead) passes. The only passess allowed
are strong chest passes and crisp bounce passes.

Basketball Passing Principles
Quickness
Theball must be pass quickly (before the defender has time to react). Thepass should be snappy and crisp, but not too hard or too easy. A quickstep is usually made in the direction of the pass, providing more forcein the pass. When a quick pass is thrown, a "ping" sound is heard. When thrown too hard, the pass slaps loudly as it is caught; whenthrown too soft, no sound is heard.
Target
Each pass must be thrown accurately to a specific target. A raisedhand or shoulder away from the defender is commonly used as the target.
Timing
The ball must be delivered when the receiver is open and not before or after.
Trickery
Thepasser must use deception to confuse the defender, who is reading thepasswer (especially they eyes) and anticipating the pass.
Passersshould visually locate all teammates on the court as well as defenders,concentraing on the potential reciever without staring. This can bestbe done by surveying the whole floor area with the ball in thetriple-threat position. When the receiver catches a pass, he/sheshould always be prepared to shoot when open and within range; if not,they should look to pass before dribbling.

Below you can view the different basketball passing tips in this section:
BAD PASSES
One badpass can beget another. Whenever a player receives a bad pass, he orshe should make sure that they regain their balance before throwinganother pass.
BASEBALL PASS
The baseballpass is most often used to advance the ball up the floor. The ball isheld with both hands on the ball, one on either side with the throwinghand usually a little higher on the ball. The ball is cocked up nearthe ear to aid in a quick release. The passers hand must be BEHIND theball so the pass doesn´t have too much side spin, making it hard tocatch. The pass is made over the defense, leading the receiver.
BOUNCE PASS
The bounce passshould travel from your waist to receiver´s waist. The ball shouldbounce about 2/3 of the way to the receiver. You should follow throughas in chest pass with your thumbs down. The backspin that this createsslows the ball down when it hits the ground and makes it easier tocatch.
CHEST PASS
The chest passshould go from your chest to receiver´s chest. You should step into thepass with your knees bent and follow through, with the ball coming offof your fingertips and your thumbs down. This creates good backspin andmakes the pass easier to catch.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PASSES
There areseveral different types of passes, to be used in different situations:The chest pass is used primarily in the open court and on theperimeter: The overhead pass is used on the perimeter and on the outletpass: The bounce pass is a pass that is used anytime under defensivepressure: The baseball pass is used when you need a long pass.
FEEDING THE POST
One of thebiggest problems with passing the ball into the post is passing frombad angles. The passer, the post player and the basket should all be ina direct line. This forces the defender to pick a side to guard, andyou can get a good angle from which to feed the ball into the low post.
KEYS TO PASSING
-Eye contact.-Crisp two handed pass motion. -Pass to the target, if the player is inmotion, throw a lead pass. -Thumbs should be pointing in the directionof the ball after the ball is thrown.
SEE THE DEFENSE As important asseeing your teammates is, seeing the DEFENSE may be more important. Youare going to KNOW where your players should be through practice andnaturally react to their same color uniforms.
It is better if you havea "soft focus" on the floor and see your teammates through yourperipheral vision. However, you should concentrate on where the defenseis, attack their weak areas and pass AWAY from the defensive player.
